We developed the 9 Traits of Critical Thinking to create a common language around thinking more deeply—to give all of us, not just our students, a shared vocabulary and a means to make thinking visible.

The 9 Traits Just Got Social

Whether you're creating a story on Facebook or Instagram, working on a new TikTok, Reels, or Fleets video, or replying to an email, comment, or text message—you can now add stickers featuring the 9 Traits of Critical Thinking! There's one GIF for each trait, plus a few bonus stickers.

Check out the full sticker pack on our Giphy channel or search "ThinkUp" on your device.

Looking for a quick tutorial? Our Video Production Lead put together this video showing you how to access the stickers from your phone or computer.
