Not a surprise if you've been keeping up with NLP trends, which suggest that you mimick and emulate the person you're speaking with (down to body language and breathing rates), in order to get a favorable reaction. No surprise in the work place either. When you're interviewing with a company, what seems to make a big impression is that you're a close match to the 'corporate culture', or the corporate average. Sure, you really should be going out of your way to work with people who are different to gain an alternate perspective on things, but that's a risk. Unless you possess a rare skillset and are in short supply, chances are you will be hired not because of your ability, but how close you resemble the team.
