Well, who knew it was a thing?

Not that you need to keep your bullshit detector trimmed and burning, but that there was such a thing as pseudoprofound horsepucky!

...those who scored higher on bullshitting ability also scored higher on the two cognitive tests. So there was a modest correlation between intelligence as measured in this study and ability to bullshit. However, there was no correlation between ability to bullshit and willingness to bullshit (despite greater facility). And there was a negative correlation between intelligence and willingness to bullshit and receptivity to pseudoprofound bullshit.

Is that a real study, or are you just bullshitting me?
