I never do this. If I am hired then my personality comes along as part of the package. If the potential employer and coworkers reject my personality then the position is not a good match.

For what it is worth in my recent experience most interviewers have commented about how pleasant and likable I am before they reject me, usually for some perceived technical flaw such as not realizing the essence of software quality is embracing their favorite fuzzing solution.

I'm actually surprised that they gave you a reason. Usually I get some email like "while we were impressed by your skills and enjoyed talking to you, we do not believe that you're a good fit for CompanyX".
