How does an employer measure critical-thinking skills? You never know when that 20 is going to roll
|
|
|

In my experience (limited, biased and anecdotal), innovation is a function of diversity of input - so if I were a company looking to increase "critical thinking" I'd look at the hiring issues that were causing my company to be a monoculture.
..but I guess that's not the critical thinking they are looking for

I call horse manure on that! 
While most people say they would like to hire more "innovative creative thinker", it is rarely the truth. As innovative creative thinker don't sit well with the "consistency culture"!
As a simple example, if people can't cope with just a simple change of bracketing style (how many useless web page and blog topic one can dig about such a worthless subject hey?!) it's easy to imagine the never ending uphill battle against tinkering the tinkerer faces daily!

Indeed, or an "innovative creative thinker" who is a yes-man and won't rock the boat.

Hahaha!! Exactly, you nailed it!

|
Yes! That is exactly the creativity we need: to be able to say "Yes!" to every ... in many creative ways flattering the creator of that ...

I would also point out that a company in industry X isn't going to get fresh ideas by only hiring candidates with extensive experience of X.

Comets may be deep-frozen fossils that could provide clues as to the earliest days of the Solar System, but what does one smell like? Because you know - deep down - you've always wondered what comets smell like

So - it "smells" like things which are organic? The exogenesis guys are probably a bit excited by that.

Yeah, I'm sure they'll pop up again on this. I still don't think that theory is necessary though - although this does show just how easy it is to generate some of those compounds.

A new study found that e-commerce sites vary online pricing depending on whether customers use mobile or desktop devices, iOS or Android, and other factors. It's not who you know, it's how you've logged in.

You must be a CNN person. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

There are many more news sources available than CNN or Fox; it's not a binary option.
My comment to Fox was that I surely don't trust a source that tries to convince me that climate change isn't real, but Jesus is.
