Researchers from Cornell University have developed what they call "the Corporate Bullshit Receptivity Scale," a tool designed to measure how impressed people are by business school-style jargon that sounds strategic but says very little.
The findings, described in a recent study, suggest that employees who rate this sort of language as insightful are more likely to struggle with analytical thinking and workplace decision-making.

A picture of Mr Spock from Star Trek holding a “futuristic” device that could maybe be used to measure things, with the text “Sensors detect… high levels of bullshit”.
Even Bassie en Adriaan did this, and don't forget Debiteuren Crediteuren (and off course the Lullo's)!
Bij deze het artikel, met cartoon. Ik kan even niet zien of die de Engelse of Nederlandse versie pakt (de site/app is tweetalig). Maar aangezien we hier plots Nederlands praten, zal het goed zijn 🙂
Research shows that people who frequently use obligatory corporate jargon (colloquially known as "bullshit bingo") often score worse on logical thinking and decision-making. They find leaders who use vague language more convincing and then go on to use that same language themselves...
I hope it was dynamic, holistic crypto?
@JonSaenzAgirre You should suggest it be added to The Registers standards converter - they have a fine range

Posted this to LinkedIn where it can reach those who need it most. 😂
@Wen I removed my share of your toot because the research has been published in PAID which is a shit tier scientific journal. It hosts many racist compatible pseudoscientific research and is known to have kept people related to the pioneer fund on its board. You can read the "talk" section of its english wikipedia page for a start, this is no secret.
It a shame, I liked what I did read.
@Enthalpiste @Wen eugh: https://retractionwatch.com/2020/06/17/elsevier-journal-to-retract-2012-paper-widely-derided-as-racist/
An article claiming that skin pigmentation is related to aggression and sexuality in humans will be retracted, Elsevier announced today.
@fluidlogic @Wen This is not the only one. There are numerous non retracted article from J. Phillipe Rushton, Richard Lynn, Bo Winegard and other white supremacists in the many issues of the journal.
Shit tier science. I tell you.
@Wen I have a deep allergy to this kind of talk. Even if it's on the level, I find it abbrasive to even hear.
That might come from when I worked at a Kinko's many years ago, where there was a spinning rack with pop-B books. (Who Stole My Cheese? kind of crap) Most people ignored it, but the kinds of people who perused it -- usually overly preened, no-longer-young guys with highly maintained hair and excessively styled clothes -- were commonly annoying douchebags, and talked like that a lot.
@Wen As promised, my article (and cartoon) about the study.
It should be in English, but the site is multi-langual (I can't see the preview from Mastodon right now).
