I was once given a "modified" MB test for a CTO position at $international_firm and had to show up at a "specialist consulting firm" to take the test (husband/wife team working from their living room) - They were nice people, we sort-of connected, and I asked them outright what profile the client was looking for. They happily shared, and said the test cannot be rigged, we designed it, it is bulletproof. I aced it, and a subsequent two tests where they asked me to fill for different personalities. Panic all-round.
I was offered the job, but declined - they put too much stock in this type of meaningless hocus-pocus, and barely asked me about my technical and organisational qualifications.

Or those who won't work for a place that asks them to, as with you. They're definitely not filtering for the nominal target personality, and surely they know that.
