I guess the questions took into account frequency and/or strength of preference. Perhaps the trend with people who score especially high on Conscientiousness is that they only read that which is strictly necessary. Also, if you are the sort of person who buys far more books than they read, that sounds like a trait of low Conscientiousness.
