Critical Thinking - Assumptions Tutorial

In this Assumptions Tutorial, our expert test developer talks through how to answer an assumptions question from a critical thinking test.

In these questions a statement will be presented and the candidate will have to decide if an assumption has been made in making the statement. For example in the statement “only people earning a high salary can afford a fast car” it is assumed that fast cars cost more than not fast cars (this is just one of many assumptions implicit in the statement).

An assumption is something someone effectively takes for granted.

Statements are given for the individual to read and they are then followed by several proposed assumptions. The candidate has to select whether an assumption has or has not been made.
