In the stress interview, the interviewer assumes a hostile role towards the applicant. He deliberately puts him on the defensive by trying to annoy, embrass or frustrate him. Usually the interviewer in such circumstances, asks questions rapidly, criticises the interviewee's answers, interrupts him frequently, keeps the candidate waiting indefinitely and then asks too many questions. The purpose of stress interview is to find out how a candidate behaves in a stress situation whether he loses his temper, gets confused or frightened. It assesses the emotional strain of a candidate. According to Professor Harell "The stress interview in which pressure is purposely puts on the applicant, may have some value for jobs, where emotional balances is a key requirement Involves putting the candidate under relatively severe emotional strain in order to test his response. It, often, is characterised by the rapid firing questions by several seemingly unfriendly interviews."
