Rate your problem solving skills from 1-10. How do you justify your rating?
The interviewer wants to know how you would rate your problem-solving skills. Of course, you want to give yourself a strong rating; however, it's essential that you remain realistic. Everyone has room to learn and improve! Be sure to justify your score as well.
"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 give myself 8/10 only because everyone has room for improvement. When a problem comes to me, I am quick to take action and figure out the solution, but if I can't solve that, I would reach out and find someone that could assist me.

This is a very strong rating, which is fantastic. You have a strong sense of self, and I would like to highlight that.
I rate my problem-solving skills an 8/10. I work well in stressful situations and become proactive versus reactive when addressing a problem or issue. I can always learn new ways to resolve problems, and I welcome opportunities to broaden my skills.
