Anyone know some good resources for training this type of critical thinking?

Think101x is a good MOOC from University of Queensland, the videos are up on youtube. If you have done previous rationality stuff it could be a bit basic, but there are lots of interviews with really big names in the rationality game. Daniel Kahneman talks about type 1 and type 2 thinking, for example.

Most of the questions related to concepts from the statistics classes I took in college, so I'd recommend learning some general statistics and reading how scientists test their hypothesizes through falsification and similar tests. I apologize that I don't have any handy links to material for you to read up on, but I picked up most of the concepts in the article by applying my college education to the research papers I'm required to read.

I don't know how effective it is, but there's an app called the Credence Calibration game that's built to train one aspect of rationality. As far as I know, there aren't yet broader programs for developing all of these skills. The same site has a section with book recommendations. You may find some of them helpful.
