So? :) I mean... really, so? So what? There are so many factors involved in an interview and a job application process in general. Just because there's a bias tendency in the speech initiation, that doesn't mean this necessarily affects universally. We have to remember that recruitment is by no means an exact machine or an exact science. Whatever stuttering amounts to in this regard is potentially miniscule. We also have to compare to other ailments that may or may not be straightforwardly impractical to hire in terms of the employee role. And here's the thing: Even if we stutter a lot, it doesn't mean we will automatically be rejected purely based on that, even if the role we're applying for involves speech. This is entirely down to the evaluation process of the company, which is - again - not a "machine". Anecdotally (which does serve a legitimate purpose in this case), I got a job involving communication even though I stuttered a lot. I also had a lot of other interviews where I didn't get the job, possibly because I stuttered, but I've no idea of knowing that for sure. I don't know the wider context. So like... what I'm saying is that... a study such as this is not a reason to feel defeated or treated badly in advance. We still have to give it a shot regardless. There's really all there is to it. We may succeed, or we may not. But the point is: We may actually succeed.
