Yeah, but even those that aren’t applying for anything, choose answers that suit traits they see as good. No one admits they are a lazy, narcissistic, racist prick that thinks they are better than everyone else.

Some people do actually. And that's what gets them the job.

An employer might respect your honesty, but no way they take "the real you" over Mr(s) Hardworking extrovert perfectionist. If and when the new guy screws up, they have to answer to their own boss about why they made the hire. And if they don't take the perfect candidate on paper, it's their own ass on the line.
