The term “bullshitting” is a slang term for situations when someone speaks nonsense, lies, or uses their skills or experience to manipulate or gain advantage. The present research examines the phenomenon of “bullshitting” among undergraduate students of teaching and management. The objective was to examine differences in the frequency of bullshitting between students of the two majors and to examine the relationships between bullshitting and personality traits for students in each major. An online questionnaire consisting of the Bullshitting Frequency Scale, the Big Five Personality Scale, and the Rational-Experiential Inventory was developed to fulfil the purpose. There were no differences in the frequency of bullshitting among students of different majors. When the relationships between bullshitting and personality traits were tested separately for each major, it was found that bullshitting is related to different personality traits in teaching students (negative relationship with agreeableness openness, rational attitude, rational ability, and positive relationship with neuroticism) and different in management students (negative relationship with conscientiousness and rational ability). The research findings suggest that differences in the frequency of bullshitting are also related to the choice of major of study with focused on the future pursuit of a profession in which different core competencies as well as different personality traits are expected. The results can be used to support the development of educational programmes and interventions that seek to reduce the prevalence of bullshitting, where we suggest a focus on increasing awareness of the prevalence of the phenomenon, developing critical thinking and bullshitting receptivity, improving communication skills, developing healthy self-esteem and correct self-efficacy.
