Yeah, it's possible - HR should screen for cultural fit and sometimes they may pull a trick or two like that. I've never toyed with applicants per se, but would occasionally ask them to explain me something that is either very simple or that they know very well, to test for condescension and arrogance. Bottom line is that if someone shows arrogance in an interview, they will likely suck to work with and unlikely to be good mentors to juniors.
