IMO, the first thing one needs to do in order to be high functioning with challenge is take the mindset that it is ok to underperform in an interview session and not get a particular job. Taking the stress out and focusing on clarity of deep thought helps almost everyone in almost all situations (I hesitate to say everyone since some people do thrive under pressure). It is one thing to read disciplined approaches to solving a problem - it is another thing to control oneself while under strong emotional states.
