I'm going into a very important interview and want to know if a tie would be right for it or be too much.
By the way the job is in IT.

Not sure to be honest, I've never went to an interview wearing a tie. Not sure if its really necessary, just as long as you don't go in there looking like a slob. Put on a nice dress shirt, maybe some dress trousers and you should be fine. Tie won't hurt like but its not %100 needed.
Don't wear a tie if you can't tie it properly or you can't get someone to tie it for you. A poorly tied tie is worse than no tie at all. Luckily there should be diagrams showing how to tie a half windsor or a full windsor you can search for online. I've never worn a tie to an interview, but then I'm a photographer and I have always been judged on my work.
Informal businesswear (that is to say, sobre suit, shirt and tie) is the expected wear for interviews, at least in the UK. Turning up more casually dressed may scream "I don't care" or "I don't fully understand the nuances of social convention", neither of which is an attitude you'd want to project. Even if neckties aren't the norm in the organisation, I'd still wear one to interview - it projects a professional image that is by no means a bad thing in such a situation.
There is a time and a place for individuality. The vast majority of job interviews aren't that place.

Yep. This site [http://www.tie-a-tie.net/pratt.html] demonstrates a few different knots pretty well. It's how I learned how to tie a tie in college. You should probably go with something conservative. I generally go with red.octafish said:
It's boring, but it's safe and works with most anything. I'll save my other ties for the expensive nightclubs. Also, don't underestimate the belt. Don't wear one that's ratty, and make sure it matches your shoes. Belts are a thing that you don't notice unless they are bad.
I wore a Tie in my interview for a Leisure Centre to be a Lifeguard lol.
So yea, I'd wear one if I were you!

Depends on the kind of organization.
I never wear a tie to an interview (then again, I only had interviews in an academic environment).
I would advice wearing representative clothing in which you are comfortable. Radiating self-confidence is far more important.
Although I would advice wearing a blazer, or a suit.

Unless it's some high position exec job you don't need to go that far, sure they say you can't overdress but they will look at you funny if you come dressed for a funeral.
