I have been to several interviews lately, and I have noticed that many of the interviewers are usually not very impressed with my credentials. I have wanted to ask them more than once why I was invited to the interview in the first place, but preferred not to because I don't want them to say *that* was the reason I did not get the job.
Any ideas as to why they do this? I imagine they try to make the point that I am unqualified for the job in order to rationalize the fact that they just did not like my accent, or my clothes, or my haircut, or my attitude. Otherwise why waste their time interviewing unqualified applicants? I am not a psychologist, so that's just a thought.

There are instances where you may be over-qualified. It's not always about the credentials, it's also who they feel will be the best fit for the work environment.
How do they know what you or anyone else is like unless they conduct an interview?

Well, many HR departments strive to interview anyone who could potentially be qualified. If the requirements are somewhat flexible, and you are quite impressive at interview, they might want to put you into the pool, if they have not had interviewees with more qualifications.
Sounds as though your attitude, you rightly surmise, may be the problem.
