Group Think

Post Reply New Topic

People tend to think like a herd of animals. One animal goes off in one direction and they all join the group. Aspies are a different type of people. One of our skills (if we develop it possible) is to make decisions on our own. We spend more time analyzing information and this can make our decisions more in depth and accurate.

This is one of the reasons why one of our traits is that we can rank high on intelligence tests or I.Q. tests. We do not jump to immediate decisions but rather tend to think explore the different possibilities. Many times we can identify the best solution in a herd of good solutions.

Group think in my view is not a good thing.

Group think is a major problem. It leads people astray. Much of the problems in the world, many of the wars are produced by a mass of group think.
