The interviewer would like to know if you are satisfied with your interview performance. Be honest when you answer this. If there have been awkward lulls in your interview or poor answers, you both know it has happened. Own up to those moments, and do your best to recover! It is perfectly fine to admit if you feel nervous, which the interviewer will understand.

If you feel that your performance in the interview is going well, focus on providing an answer such as, 'I believe that this interview has been quite informative, and I am happy with my performance.' You can then ask the interviewer if there is anything that you can clarify for them from your conversation.

If you feel the interview did not go well, avoid saying you think your performance went well. The interviewer will also feel that there were some issues with the interview and determine that you are not self-aware or do not own up to your weaknesses. It is best to admit your faults and show the interviewer that you will try to do better.
