Why do you think that the interviewer would ask this question
in the first place? I doubt that the answer would be taken
verbatim.

"I'm a 10"
"Oh, great! You're hired"

Doesn't happen. Unless, of course, you can prove it.

A more realistic self-assessment, with an elaboration as to why
you believe the rating to be accurate, would probably have
much more positive results (subject to the level of intelligence
of the interviewer).
