Littrell Publishes Corporate Bullshit Receptivity Scale Study
In February 2026, Shane Littrell, a linguistics postdoc at Cornell, publishes an open-access paper in Personality and Individual Differences introducing the Corporate Bullshit Receptivity Scale and examining associations with workplace outcomes. The essay situates the study within debates about semantic drift and neologisms, argues against policing language use, and suggests practitioners focus on substantive evaluation rather than vocabulary policing to improve judgment and organizational outcomes.
