"I rate my problem-solving skills as an 8/10. I will, on occasion, have times when I am not as efficient as I would like to be but all in all, I do feel that my problem-solving skills are above average. My supervisor and co-workers will attest to my fast reflexes when a problem arises, and they would also say that I remain calm under pressure."

"I would say I get a solid 8.3 on a scale of 10. Seems weird to give myself something like a .3, but I think of it as an 83%, which is a B- teetering on a solid B. It's a solid grade, with definite room for improvement, since I'm certainly not perfect. The reason for the B-/B grade would be that I'm quick to take action and figure out the solution as I go, but sometimes I could benefit from taking a moment to pause and reflect or gather other contributors before taking action. That said, I believe I generally get the best outcome possible when faced with a challenge."

I would give myself a solid 8 in regard to my problem-solving skills. Even if I’m faced with a new problem I work well under pressure and have the skills and experience to find the best possible outcome beneficial to both my clients and team.

You're off to a great start! Consider speaking to specific problem-solving skills that would benefit you in this role, like creativity, analytical skills, impartiality, flexibility, planning, time management, research skills, etc. Also, if you have ever received positive feedback from a manager about your problem-solving skills, feel free to share that as well to back up your answer.
