I understand. My point was that it isn't necessarily true. A lot of people say the "Id give myself an 8" because that's how you get higher compensation. I think a large number of people don't really care how good they actually are because a lot of people aren't especially excited about their jobs, they're just there for they money
His point was that everybody thinks this about themselves. This is the "I'd rate myself about a 8/10" thing.
