Your communication skills can be rated by your writing skills, verbal communication skills, body language, nonverbal cues, and even what you neglect to say. If you're in a supervisory position, and your mood and body language are inconsistent with your words, your staff may misinterpret those cues and take them personally. When discussing your communication skills, touch on your mediation, negotiation, diplomacy, and ability to communicate nondefensively. Share your ability to adapt your communication style to others, your active listening skills, and your ability to mirror, validate, and empathize.

"I rate my communication skills as a 9/10 as I am not always as clear as I would like to be. My supervisor and co-workers will attest to my clear and concise communication skills. Because I am an open leader, my team will let me know if I need to clarify anything."

"I will rate myself an eight because I value communication, but, like most people, I have things to learn. I ensure clear communication by utilizing multiple methods of delivering messages and giving ample time for questions before implementing changes."

My communication skills would be an 8, in my opinion. Usually, I'm very clear about expressing my expectations and explaining things. When I respond quickly, I might not express things as clearly as I wanted it to be. There's always room for growth when it comes to communication skills.
