What the interviewer is attempting to gauge is your ability to handle such high pressure or high-stress situations. To determine your fit is to determine your ability to persevere through such situations without compromising your dedication. They also need to gauge how your reactions would be either an asset or a liability in situations such as these.

Offer a recent high-stress situation comparable to what you imagine similar situations in this environment to look like. This will convey your understanding of what will be expected of you. Next, detail how managed that stressful situation, logistically and emotionally.
