Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intellectual isolation is not listed as one of the three classic symptoms of groupthink. The three classic symptoms typically include overestimation of the group (including the belief in the inherent morality of the group and belief in the correctness of one's own group), closed-mindedness (including rationalizations and negative stereotypes of the out-group), and pressures toward uniformity (including self-censorship and direct pressure on dissenters). Intellectual isolation can be a result or feature of groupthink, but it is not classified as one of the three classic symptoms.
