why is it 'high-stress' ? desire to look good ? fear of being judged as a fool?

The ability to temporarily NOT GIVE A SHIT about what others think of you is a pretty valuable psychological/leadership indicator IMO.

I would want such folks, who may not be able to code up a binary-tree search, but would work through it in the same manner they would at home in pyjamas, to be team-leads or managers over time.
