What is inductive reasoning? Inductive reasoning is a thought process in which an observation of multiple facts that are found to be true are combined to form a generalized conclusion. A conclusion that may be definite or contrary, depending on the point of view of the observer. For example, in this statement: "The chair in the living room is red. The chair in the dining room is red. The chair in the bedroom is red. All chairs in the house are red."
