Sadly, a lot of interviews are more about "likeability" and people skills than pure critical thinking skills. (I wish it were that easy...)
At top software companies they seem to weigh the technical aspects more, though (somewhat understandably) the interviewers want to imagine working with the candidate as a future positive interaction.
Personally I think I pass the personality test, but recently blown an interview due to being stale in some areas and insufficient mental flexibility ("going meta") on a couple of questions.
