Bullshit-sensitivity predicts prosocial behavior

I administered the self test and as I was checking my results I started patting myself on the back for doing so well, then I realized this is no different from giving yourself an online IQ test; I just wanted to affirm to myself how smart I think I am.

Also its a bit of a misrepresentation of how the questions were framed as they weren't asked to evaluate if answers were bullshit but rather if they were profound or not. We're going in with the preset mind frame sussing out the bullshit answers as opposed to the more open-ended testing scenario.

Framing of questions always affects the outcome of answers.

Lastly, a few of these read like the Chopra quote generator. http://www.wisdomofchopra.com/
