That kinda response is much better. It shows a humble pilot, who is also willing to learn and improve. If I was a hiring pilot manager, I'd be turned off by anyone claiming to be a 10. I would picture someone trying to be Chuck Yeager, and put negative marks for that question.
From what I have heard, Chuck is kind of a jerk, so implying you are on the same level might actually work against you!
