Conclusion
History demonstrates that those individuals who have implemented critical and creative thinking approaches to their endeavors have gone on to contribute great things to society. From Socrates to Stephen Hawking, their success rests deeply on the foundation and core concepts of critical and creative thinking. Although we can imagine how our students will use their burgeoning critical thinking skills in the future, we need to assess these skills today. Visit the Critical Thinking Assessment Project's website for ideas on how to assess students' knowledge and application of fundamental critical thinking competencies. The final section of the Think Bank pools together a portion of the critical and creative thinking community. While links to works by this community of scholars have been spread throughout the entire Think Bank, in the Miscellaneous section you will find links to articles by some of the modern-day players in the advancement of thinking. Their efforts serve as proof of the unified and sustaining nature of critical and creative thinking. In addition to bibliographies of critical thinking resources, this section houses glossaries of critical thinking terms, puzzles, and mind teasers for those who wish to test their thinking or improve it.
