That's not what they found. The ones that are better at bullshitting are actually the ones that are less inclined to do so. Here is the results and discussion of the first experiment almost in entirety. I only removed the actual numbers to make the paragraph more readable. You can find the full paragraph in the submitted article. "Additionally, we find that participants’ bullshit ability was uncorrelated with their willingness to bullshit (i.e., feign knowledge of fake concepts) and their receptivity to pseudo-profound bullshit (i.e., endorse meaningless pseudo-profound statements as profound). Furthermore, participants’ willingness to bullshit was negatively associated with scores on the Wordsum, suggesting that those scoring higher on our measures of cognitive ability were less willing to bullshit. Finally, we find that those more willing to bullshit were also more likely to be receptive to pseudo-profound bullshit (i.e., rate pseudo-profound bullshit items higher on profoundness), as well as were less likely to distinguish between meaningless pseudo-profound bullshit and meaningful motivational quotations (bullshit sensitivity: calculated as the difference between pseudo-profound bullshit ratings and ratings of motivational quotations for their profoundness)."
