Be upfront and honest with yourself and your interviewer as you rate your communication skills on a scale of 1-10. In explaining why you chose that particular rating for yourself, discuss your ability to openly communicate verbally in the work setting, listen carefully to the needs of your coworkers and customers, and utilize written communication effectively.

"I would rate my communication skills as a 7 out of 10. I consider my written communication skills top-notch. I took a few points away because I'm rather shy and tend to let others speak first in a large group setting. Once people get to know me well and I become more trusting of them, I'm much quicker to open up."
