The Teaboy Sep 2016 8:21am, 23 Sep 2016 14,673 posts	0 The Teaboy Best scientific study I've seen in a while! Winner of an IgNobel prize this year! On the Reception and Detection of Pseudo-Profound Bull$hit journal.sjdm.org The conclusion – from the statistical evidence: The present study represents an initial investigation of the individual differences in receptivity to pseudo-profound bull$hit. We gave people syntactically coherent sentences that consisted of random vague buzzwords and, across four studies, these statements were judged to be at least somewhat profound. This tendency was also evident when we presented participants with similar real-world examples of pseudo-profound bull$hit. Most importantly, we have provided evidence that individuals vary in conceptually interpretable ways in their propensity to ascribe profundity to bull$hit statements; a tendency we refer to as “bull$hit receptivity”. Those more receptive to bull$hit are less reflective, lower in cognitive ability (i.e., verbal and fluid intelligence, numeracy), are more prone to ontological confusions and conspiratorial ideation, are more likely to hold religious and paranormal beliefs, and are more likely to endorse complementary and alternative medicine.
