I deal with that kind of anxiety feedback loop in interviews, especially when I feel like I have no other edge besides my interview performance and resume, i.e., no personal connection. At my current job, they gave me the questions on paper and left me alone to answer them. I did well with that. (I also had a personal connection.) Later, I did a phone interview with Google based on having come up on one of their LinkedIn scans, and it went terrible.
How a person does on a pressure interview certainly tells you something, but it would seem to put a high priority on a particular skill at the expense of others. It probably effectively screens out anxious types. I'm not sure you can generalize what you learn too broadly, though.
