This is not surprising, because generally the traits that these tests would use to flag a character as "Mary Sue" are traits that many protagonists share. Most of these tests strive for some sort of balance between positive and negative traits, but unless you're writing an anti-hero it should probably be more one way or the other.

I think a better judge is "does canon warp around this character in a way that would be off-putting?" Or maybe "is the plot contrived in a way to prop up this character or make them seem more likable, or can they be interesting on their own?"
