> But I will ask hard questions to see how well a candidate communicates in a stressful situation

Well, stress fires off old cortex fight-or-flight response. It's like the worst possible test of neocortex capability. Why are you trying to trigger it? Kinda cruel.

A good employer takes care of their worker even if they have problems, but they also want to weed out as much of them before hiring.

Mentally strong and healthy people who do well when challenged are good hires.

    So, you discriminate against disabled people?

    • Being below average is not disability.

      You want to hire someone good. You try to find many ways to weed all others out so that what is left is good.

These posts are acting like they're looking for a personality that can handle being a combat jet pilot when they write crud that handles 100 requests/day...

Why is the business this stressful in the first place
