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.

@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.

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 There are numerous non retracted article from J. Phillipe Rushton, Richard Lynn, Bo Winegard and other white supremacists in the many issues of the journal.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.
