If you freeze up in interviews, then it doesn't seem like the problem is with interviews -- the problem is with you freezing up

If a person is interviewing for an air traffic controller position or any position with continuous stress and confrontation, well yes.

But if the job isn't a constant stress, constant demand affair but rather an affair of creative, constructive activity, then no.

Now, I suspect one problem might be that more jobs are becoming constant, chaotic stress affairs. In a large sense, that seems like a problem society has but that's just me.

This is also an example of the "extraversion bias" in company culture. http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2012/apr/01/susan-cain...
