Nothing could be further from the truth. I am giving you essential information to understand The Matrix. Please read the post linked above.
Me explaining that this post is not about Critical thinking doesn't in any way detract from the greater message of analytical thinking in the post. Suggesting that it does has nothing to do with my post and is a strawman.
Analytical reasoning is a more linear approach to gathering and analyzing data. It takes a step-by-step flow that breaks down information in a logical pattern.
Critical thinking skills enable you to question the data, verify it, and analyze outside information before developing a more holistic solution.
Which matters most depends upon your point of view. Analytical reasoning is a crucial step in the process of critical thinking. You analyze data before applying critical thinking to it.
If only using analytical skills, you use the data and facts to support your solution.
By then applying critical thinking, you evaluate all sources of information before making a judgement based on your opinion, knowledge, experience, and expertise.
While both are unique skills, and can be used individually, the nature of them makes them completely complimentary. However, the nature of them also means that critical thinkers typically use their analytical skills as the first step to developing holistic solutions that have a positive impact on their teams and organizations.

That is not what Critical thinking is. Please see the post linked above. We have been mistaught what Critical thinking is. Your assessment of what it means is incorrect and it is intentionally incorrect (I'm not suggesting it is your intention, rather the PTB who created our school system intentionally misteach what "Critical Thinking" means). Attempting to explain what it really is and why we have been mistaught what it is, is the purpose of my post. Unless you read the argument presented to make that case (contained within the link) you will not understand the argument made, nor the deeper fuckery contained within the misteaching.

No it is not. They are completely separate things (see example below). You can be analytical without being critical (determining the truth of a thing for yourself). In fact, people do that all the time. You can be critical (determine the truth of a thing for yourself) without being analytical. Again, people do that all the time. Please read my argument in which I make this case in more detail.

I agree that they are complementary. The point is, they are in no way the same thing, at all, by definition.
However, the nature of them also means that critical thinkers typically use their analytical skills as the first step to developing holistic solutions that have a positive impact on their teams and organizations.
This is completely untrue in the general sense. People believe they understand the truth of information without in any way being analytical (or perhaps a better way of saying that is "using flawed analytics").
For example, believing that the Earth is Flat requires ignoring all of the evidence, all of the physics, all of the arguments that it is not, and also ignoring all of the evidence that the modern FE push is a CIA psyop (see Eric Dubay, CIA agent e.g.). The flaw of FE is not in the evidence, but the necessity of ignoring counter arguments. To hold on to that belief system, you must ignore the contrary arguments instead of addressing them. That is not analytical thinking, because proper analytics does not purposefully ignore evidence, however, it is very much determining the truth of the information for themselves (the definition of critical thinking).
you're splitting hairs man, OP had a quality post

Missed your link fren. Read it. You make a valid point and I get your thought process here. Well done.
Your link is a perfect example of the larger scale fuckery to misteach what Critical Thinking is.
Is there a place to search blogs? I'd prefer to read those before any search engine results that can be manipulated to hide the truth.
