Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A critical listener separates facts from opinions in order to make rational judgments rather than simply listening for ideas that support their preexisting beliefs. A critical listener also strives to avoid bias and hears all opinions before coming to a conclusion. They also actively listen and respond to what the speaker is saying rather than just focusing on what they want to say next.
