I had some reasons I didn’t pick the ones you included.
Willingness to change mind when presented with evidence
I could see someone rationally taking an anti-dialectical stance if they think that the evidence they are being given is somehow not valid or biased such as to be an example of bayesian persuasion.
Interest in improving reasoning and decision-making skills
Someone could be committed to the goal of discovering truth, but also not be able to currently prioritize it, and so they may have no interest in improvement at the time.
Commitment to intellectual honesty
I believe one could rationally decide that the best way to achieve a goal of truth discovery might not involve intellectual honesty in a given circumstance.
I’m not sure why you are talking about ‘anti-dialectical’ in regards to willingness to change your mind when presented with evidence (but then, I had to look up what the word even means). It only counts as evidence to the degree it is reliable times how strong the evidence would be if it were perfectly reliable, and if words in a dialogue aren’t reliable for whatever reason, the obviously that is a different thing. That it is being presented rather than found naturally is also evidence of something, and changes the apparent strength of the evidence but doesn’t necessarily mean that it can be ignored entirely. If nothing else, it is evidence that someone thinks the topics are connected.
Interest doesn’t mean that you are going to, it means that you are interested. If you could just press a button and be better at reasoning and decision making (by your standards) with no other consequences, would you? Since that isn’t the case, and there will be sacrifices, you might not do it, but that doesn’t mean a lack of interest. A lack of interest is more ‘why should I care about how weel I reason and make decisions?’ than ‘I don’t currently have the ability to pursue this at the same time as more important goals’.
While duplicity certainly could be in your ‘rational’ self-interest if you have a certain set of desires and circumstances, it pollutes your own mind with falsehood. It is highly likely to make you less rational unless extreme measures are taken to remind yourself what is actually true. (I also hate liars but that is a separate thing than this.) Plus, intellectual honesty is (usually) required for the feedback you get from the world to actually apply to your thoughts and beliefs, so you will not be corrected properly, and will persist in being wrong when you are wrong.
