The CAT is entirely dedicated to assessing the critical-thinking skills involved in scientific reasoning and practical problem solving. While the test is found to have reasonable content validity, various issues with its prompts are discussed, along with significant issues with its scoring. The CAT’s recommended use as a “model” for curricular changes, called CAT Apps, is criticized as “teaching to the test.”

CAT 扫描：批判性思维评估测试的批判性审查

CAT 完全致力于评估涉及科学推理和实际问题解决的批判性思维技能。虽然发现测试具有合理的内容有效性，但讨论了其提示的各种问题，以及其评分的重要问题。CAT 被推荐用作课程变化的“模型”，称为 CAT Apps，被批评为“应试教育”。
