Not surprising at all. At least not from my point of view. After graduating from an electronics technical school with a 3.9 GPA, I interviewed and tested for a job along with several classmates. One of them was a 4.0 student and he was unable to pass the companies psyche test, even after three attempts. When I asked one of the managers about it, he stated that the man was too linear in his thinking and they had discovered that linear thinkers tended to bang their heads against every problem while looking for the perfect solution as if they wore blinders. Sometimes you need to step back and find an alternate remedy to solve a problem. Linear thinkers are incapable of doing that.
Overachievers tend to be linear in their thinking. It's not always a desirable quality to have in the workplace.
