    I agree with all statements about confirmation bias and wanting to see in yourself what you read in your result. It's flattery, plain and simple.

Cognitive dissonance as well. It's a line of thinking that fits with people's current perspective and thus very easy to accept. If the test would say stuff that wasn't true, it would be far easier to dismiss. But the test has a good category for everyone, there's no 'bad' category.
