I used to say this (when asked about my Perl skills):

"In terms of the whole world? I'm probably a 5-6 out of 10. In terms of people in finance, I'm probably a 8 out of 10."

And I put it this way to show: - I'm not a Perl guru - I also know, roughly, the spectrum of Perl skills in my industry - I'm therefore closer to the upper end for my role + industry match
