The interviewer wants to know how you would rate your problem-solving skills. Of course, you want to give yourself a strong rating; however, you must 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 say I get a solid 8.3 on a scale of 10. It 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 don't like to toot my own horn because I know that someday a problem will arise that I may not be able to solve so quickly. It happens to everyone, I'm sure. I'd rate my problem-solving skills as a 7-10. With great memory comes the great ability and I know someday a problem may stem that is beyond my knowledge but when that day comes I will tackle it head on and even encourage help from my peers.

Your honesty is appreciated but consider rephrasing your response like below:
I don't like to toot my own horn, but I would honestly say that I believe my problem-solving skills fall between an 8 and a 10. I am able to easily think outside the box and like to look at a problem from multiple angles until I can determine a viable solution. I also don't hesitate to use any resources that are available to me, whether they be colleagues or even the internet. Although there's always the potential for a stumper, in most cases I am able to solve problems in a quick and creative manner.
