Introduction
The Barnum effect describes the tendency to accept certain information as true, such as character assessments or horoscopes, even when the information is so obscure as to prove worthless. This is named after American showman, politician, and businessman P.T. Barnum. The word Barnum can be used as a noun to mean “nonsense” or “humbug.”
