It's entirely possible that they weren't testing "bullshit-sensitivity," but some underlying language skills, IQ, or even something like creativity (required to give the sentences have meaning).

I wonder whether there's research correlating low bullshit-sensitivity with endorsement of postmodern "thought".

Bullshit-sensitivity = ability to distinguish bullshit sentences from genuinely profound sentences Bullshit-receptivity = tendency to perceive bullshit sentences as meaningful So, BS-S is not BS-R, thus there is no contradiction.

"Bullshit-sensitivity" here appears to mean "reading comprehension."

Bullshit-sensitivity and cynicism are practically synomyms I'd say.
