Thank you for shedding some light.

I really doubt that I failed the writing tests as most of my applications failed after my submission of the written essays. For the most recent application,

Phone interview -> Passed and set up for next interview. Issued essay topic and personality test.
1st interview - > discussed my essay and passed, issued case study ppt
2nd interview -> discussed ppt, passed and set up final interview
last interview -> ended interview and was asked to select referee after interview. (submitted final documents as per their requests)

Referee was not even called and was immediately rejected.
It's hard to find closure getting rejected so abruptly (just 1 working day after) without a proper reason. Cited 'can't find a fit'.

Lose out to another candidate? but on 4-5 similar occasions?
