Jeff Bezos views one's ability to admit when they are wrong as an indicator of emotional intelligence. He considers emotional intelligence the foundation of strong leadership and credits this to his success. It is said that he is even-keeled and aware of his limitation, surrounds himself with 'smarter people,' and considers one's self-awareness of one's strengths and weaknesses as integral to these principles.

"I am not sure if I have been able to portray myself 100% accurately in this interview, although I am trying my best. If there is anything more I can clarify for you, I would be happy to do so."

"I would rate my performance as an 8 out of 10. I am happy with how I answered most of the questions; however, I stumbled a bit when you asked me about my expertise with Java and Python. Could I further clarify that for you?"

"I feel like I could have come in a little less nervous. I feel confident in my experience and abilities, and I'm normally not shy, but I feel a little shy in this interview, probably because of how badly I want the job. So, if I could change anything in this interview, it would be to show my personality and passion. Ironically, it is my passion that caused me to clam up."

This question tests your emotional intelligence, your self-awareness, and how honest you are, not only with the interviewer but also yourself. If you are unhappy with your interview performance, for whatever reason, this question offers you an opportunity to reverse course and put your best foot forward. Be frank, address where you feel you fell short, and contrast that with what you have to offer.

I would say I am doing 8 out of 10. If I am missing anything I am happy to go back and revisit it.
Of course, I am nervous and will think of things I should have included after we hang up.
Marcie's Feedback
Giving yourself a rating of 8 out of 10 is a safe bet, and it's great that you're open to giving further information to the interviewer if they need it. If you believe you stumbled on any particular questions, consider asking if you can talk further about those topics so you can redeem yourself. Good job!
