I'm positive there's an ulterior motive. I've been in a situation similar to yours where it took me 3 interviews to understand the company wanted to see if I had yet another skill set they couldn't grasp if I had from their code test (which didn't require it). By the time we got to this realisation, we were both a bit worn out by the whole process I guess and parted ways.

Within our company I'm responsible for finding new employees (besides doing a lot of programming at the same time). I think we have used the same reason at least 2 times to turn down applicants.
All of our employees are really passionate about their work and we are looking for this same passion with new employees. If we don't notice this during the interviews the applicants are turned down for exactly the same reason.
Not that this will help you in any way, but just so you know, it happens... -
@Hel8y thanks for the feedback. I thought I communicated my passion effectively but maybe not. I'm not closed off to the possibility I could have done better. Based on the responses I got it just seemed odd. #devRantstheBest
Interviewed with a company, it was a direct hire SQL Dev/Analyst role(ETL,BI etc). Had three interviews in a row all of which went great. We laughed, I was able to answer every technical question with no problem. Each person clearly enjoyed the interview, I ended up going over the specified amount of time set aside for the interview... Still didn't get the job. They said "There is no doubt he can do the job, but we don't think he's passionate enough about the position." What?!?! So confused. It's also odd to me because every job before this If I had an in person interview I was offered the job... I don't get it.
