> I, and most other employers, are not looking for perfect answers

I wouldn't agree with that. Most of the interviewers I had at the end of the day didn't want the take the risk of "hire" if the answer wasn't like they expect.

> We want to know whether you are the type who chokes. It tells us that your desire to look good in front of someone (or conversely, your fear of looking bad in front of someone) fills up your mind more than your desire to solve a problem.

I think that can be better written in the job requirement. I would think twice before going to an interview which the solely purpose is to make an artificial stressful situation, out of an already quite stressful situation, just to see if I break or not.

Yeah, I can give zero shit if the stakes are low or if I am not interested in the job or the company for example. What happens is not my ego is hurt, but before I go for an interview I am already emotionally invested that I want to work for that prospective company.

All that said, people come from different backgrounds, imagine interviewing someone who is constantly judged in life and/or have struggled with bad managers prior to expect they would be free like a bird in front of failure.
