If someone can't express himself, most likely that person won't work well in the team.

Some people take a bit of time and familiarity to warm up.

True. I am not sure if I want to take the risk though. I don't want to be a friend or tell jokes but i want to be able to talk technical stuff.

There is an enormous difference between a person taking a minute to collect their thoughts without speaking and a person being unwilling or unable to communicate. I can't be sure, but it sounds like at least some people in this thread are talking about pushing back against the former as well as the latter.

I am fine if they think about it for minutes or need a while to sort thoughts out. But at some point I would like to get some response. What else can I go by in the interview? And even if that person can write great code I am not sure things will work in the long run if he can't explain himself.
