Black hat for critical judgment from "summary" of Six Thinking Hats by Edward De Bono

The Black Hat is all about judgment. It covers the negative aspects. Why something may not work. Why it will not work. The Black Hat is judgment - the devil's advocate or why something may not work. The Black Hat is an important hat, and one that people often find difficult to use. But used properly it can be very powerful. The Black Hat is judgment - why something may not work. When using Black Hat thinking, the thinker looks at the negative judgement. This is the hat where we think about the difficulties. Where things might go wrong, why it might not work. The Black Hat is used to point out why something might not work, to spot the problems in advance. The Black Hat is used to assess whether ideas are practical, whether they will work, whether they are effective, and whether or not they will achieve their objectives. It is a valuable tool for decision-making and for understanding how different options might play out in reality. The Black Hat is all about critical judgment, and it helps to identify potential pitfalls and challenges before they occur. The Black Hat is not about being negative for the sake of it. It is about being realistic and practical. It is about looking at a situation from all angles and considering the potential drawbacks and obstacles. The Black Hat helps to balance out overly optimistic or unrealistic thinking and encourages a more balanced and well-rounded approach to decision-making. The Black Hat can be a difficult hat to wear, as it requires thinking critically and objectively. It can be tempting to focus only on the positive aspects of an idea or situation, but the Black Hat reminds us to consider the potential risks and challenges as well. By using the Black Hat effectively, we can make more informed decisions and avoid potential pitfalls in the future.
