I find it hard to believe that you are surprised. I find myself awash in woo psychology from all media outlets and individuals I talk to. If what you are selling is what people want to hear, then they are more than happy to not bother to look at it any closer.
The thing people really want to hear is that they are not responsible for the consequences of their actions. This is what "personality" tests do. They say that it's not our fault if we behave in a clearly destructive manner because it's our inherent personality and we are powerless to change it. This is clearly nonsense, but the absolution of guilt and pressure to admit our mistakes is so desired that gullible folks are happy to swallow it without a second thought.
