I'm susceptible to stuttering and/or rambling when I'm extremely anxious, sometimes without even being fully aware of it. I made it to final interviews for tech jobs twice, and I got the offer both times.
In retrospect, I was extremely anxious the first time, but the company was about to enter a high-growth phase and didn't seem to have fully-developed hiring practices (I got a tentative, very informal verbal offer on-the-spot, and a phone call to confirm I had the job about 24 hours later).
The second time, I was interviewing with a big US bank so I assume they had a better eye for details. Maybe I'm getting better at not showing my anxiety.
