Personally, I have no idea where you got the "often believed" part from, this is literally the first time I've heard of that.

I don't understand how a construct could have consciousness, unless it is a programmed semi-sentient AI, such as a shield meant to react differently to different kinds of attacks, or a construct that is programmed to learn from the surroundings, although that one may go rogue (which may or may not be the creator's fault) unless programmed loyalty as well.

Personally, I don't believe a construct can be completely either conscious or sentient - it can get really close - as the creator can always just up and edit or destroy it.
