Is there any reason that having test anxiety should be kept private?

Should a person with test anxiety NOT share that with employers, admissions committees, etc.?

No, I do not think it is wrong to let people know. Though, I don't know why it would apply to employers unless you take a lot of tests at work.
Most schools have disability centers where you can go and tell them about these kind of anxieties and they will give you accommodations if you qualify for them.
