Question Your Thinking
Socratic questioning involves carefully examining beliefs through structured questions. Rather than accepting assumptions, you investigate how well they stand up to scrutiny.
Useful Questions
- What evidence supports this?
- Could there be another explanation?
- What assumptions am I making?
- What would someone who disagrees say?
Better Questions, Better Decisions
You don't need all the answers immediately. Often the quality of your questions determines the quality of your thinking.
