The present study was conducted on a sample of ( 242 ) graduate students in the Colleges of Arts and Education ,from Zagazig and Benha university , their age ranged between 23 - 40 years with an average ( 31.74 )years , and a standard deviation ( 4.869 ).

A measure of criticai thirikjno traits /prepared by the researcher V and the measure of life orientation ( Prepared by: Ansari,2001 ) .

And results found that the critical thinking traits ( intellectual perseverance, confidence inreason, inteiiectual courage intellectual humility) are significant predictors for life orientat^ among graduate students by a contribution of 71.20 % of t l^% ^ total variance .

also found significant differences in the criticl® thinking traits due to variable sex .
