A weak, non-directive group leader is actually a characteristic of groupthink, as a strong leader may be able to challenge the group's thinking and prevent groupthink from occurring. The other three choices are all characteristic of groupthink. Pressure toward conformity, high self-censorship, and a sense of moral superiority all contribute to a situation where the group makes flawed decisions without considering alternatives.
