This question gauges how well you cope with stress and whether you can remain calm under pressure. We all deal with stressful situations. It's fine to have stress, as long as the stress doesn't have you. You should convey emotional balance in your answer.

The assessment vendor will evaluate how you cope with stress at work by studying your tone, choice of words, and body language to determine your ability to handle highly pressured situations consistently without compromising your performance or integrity. When a person recalls situations from their past, they'll also emotionally revisit that situation. Be especially mindful of the nonverbal cues of nervous or stressful behavior, such as small movements of your hands or feet, swaying, shifting your weight, rocking or tilting back in your chair, leaning to one side or the other, straightening and freezing your posture, cradling your neck with one or both hands, crossing your arms, cracking your knuckles or biting your nails.
