"Thank you for asking. I would rate my performance today as an 8/10. There is always room for improvement, and I am sure when I get home today I will recall a couple of additional points that I did not cover today. If this should happen, are you okay with me emailing you some additional information?"

The interviewer would like to know if you are satisfied with your interview performance. If your interview were a flop, you would know, and it's much better to address outright your performance than try to sweep it under the rug.

If you feel that your performance in the interview is going well: 'I believe that this interview has been quite informative and I am happy with my performance. Is there anything that I can clarify for you from this conversation?'

If you feel that your performance in the interview is not going well: "I am not sure if I have been able to portray myself 100% accurately in this interview; although, I am trying my best. If there is anything more I can clarify for you, I would be happy to do so."

It's gone quite well, I'd say. It's been a pleasure to tell you more about myself and to learn more about the company and the position. Is there anything you would like me to clarify from what's been said so far?
