(13) What are some proven creativity patterns of great thinkers. Groupthink. Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of people, in which the desire for harmony or conformity in the group results in an irrational or dysfunctional decision-making outcome.
Group members try to minimize conflict and reach a consensus decision without critical evaluation of alternative viewpoints, by actively suppressing dissenting viewpoints, and by isolating themselves from outside influences. Loyalty to the group requires individuals to avoid raising controversial issues or alternative solutions, and there is loss of individual creativity, uniqueness and independent thinking. The dysfunctional group dynamics of the "ingroup" produces an "illusion of invulnerability" (an inflated certainty that the right decision has been made).

One guy asked me, “Do you party?” I had no idea that it wasn’t meant literally. “Not really,” I said, “I’m just not that into it.” “You do your own thing, huh? And that was it. I wasn’t truly comfortable doing my own thing until years later, but I remembered that night. What am I? What if I can program and design a decent interface? Ultimately, I hate being pigeonholed.
