I don't think well in groups, because conversation is distracting. I think this applies to everyone when the subject matter is deeper than like, advertising or something superficially creative. The value of brainstorming is mainly the suspension of criticism, and it's an important part of any creative task, even if applied alone. I see it all the time--a very smart person with lots of aptitude who can't write, can't draw, can't code, can't do anything because any small attempt is immediately "not good enough". The suspension of criticism is necessary in order to push through. You can't run from the problems forever, but I do think that making some shitty version of something before you make a good version is... necessary? You never really know what you are doing until the shitty version exists and you can see the problems, and subsequently the solutions.
