Personal example: I've had really horrible emotional experiences over distant acquaintances' deaths, but can imagine just about anyone I know dying without actually feeling fear about that. So, before anyone I knew had died, I assumed this meant that I wouldn't have negative emotional reactions if someone I knew really did die.
Your test has its confounding factors too, but seems overall much better.
