#3 Assumptions
Central to critical thinking is the consideration of assumptions.
Why?
Assumptions are generally believed to be implied and are often not stated outright.

The ability to consider alternative schools of thought is a forcing function for determining the truth.

Considering alternatives often leads to the truth being different than what you originally expected.
