"I am certainly not perfect, so I will rate myself an 8/10 for listening skills. At times, I could be more present, especially when a conversation seems to be dragging on or a meeting is running past time. I think my current boss would rate me around the same, if not a bit higher. I do have a penchant for recalling small details, which seems to impress him quite often."

The interviewer would like to know how you rate your listening skills and how your rating would compare to how others would rate you in return. Avoid giving yourself a 10, as nobody is perfect, and you do not want to seem unable to accept feedback.
Alternately, avoid giving yourself too little credit. You do not want to paint the picture that you are a terrible listener! Stay in the 7.5-9.5 range, and back your rating with a comment you have received from a coworker recently.

"I would say that my listening skills are a 9/10. My supervisor recently mentioned how much he appreciates that I do not check my phone in the middle of a conversation like many people do."

I believe my previous bosses would rate me a 9 out of 10. Not perfect but I believe paying full attention while engaged in a conversation is very important. I like to ask questions to confirm I fully understand what a person is telling me. I believe this leads to better job outcomes and better working relationships with colleagues.
