Inference Wlement of Thought

Question: Discuss about the Inference Element of Thought. Answer: Discussion Element of thought involves consideration of a point of view in thinking. It involves purpose . Elements of thought entails information gathering, interpretation, inference on the issue of concern and concepts are highlighted. When we think, we utilise assumptions of the thought and its overall implications and consequences of reason. An inference involves how we reach conclusion and how to interpret information. In standards of thinking, there is need for the ability to assess the reasoning capacity. In order to have a clear thinking, we need to have measures and benchmarks for quality. It can be done through criteria based approach of using accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth, logicalness and significance issue. However improved reasoning is achieved when goals are clear using standards of intellectuality and usage of information in thinking, however information is of high quality when accurate information used. Contentious issue in these two is that, how will you make an inferences or conclusion if you have a low reasoning capacity? The quality of that conclusion will be affected and thus compromise the quality of the decision. However in inference, one needs to seek purpose and gather the right information which when combine good reason, good conclusion is reached. Hence the contentious issue here is the standard of thinking that needs to be used in order to make good inference which is of high quality. My point of view is that the level of thinking quality affects considerably the inferences made or choices made. One must have god reason in order to make a good conclusion.
