As a home cook I would say 7/10.
I can make all the normal stuff pretty easily, things like stir fry, pasta, slow cooked things, roasts, curries, things like that. My friends also like my food. I am also pretty good at cooking in a healthy way, with little fat or sugar, but I also know how to create a treat with some butter or cream.

I personaly don't like sweet food, so I am complete trash at desserts. I also sometimes fuck up when experimenting, but I guess that's normal.

I also know a bit about things like sharpening knives, how to season a pan and so on.

Literally same. I often try flavour pairing stuff I've never tried before and sometimes it's great other times it's a failure. The problem is when I experiment on my family and they suffer from it.

First time I cook something: 7-9/10
Any consecutive attempt: 3-7

I seem to have some godly ability to make “the perfect x” first time. But I can never recapture that moment ever again on the same recipe

I have a very great knowledge of the concepts of spanish, italian and french cuisine and I can do most dishes in them without trouble, have never and will never fuck up any recipe. I also can make my own recipes and improve them. My specialties, or just dishes that I like to do, are onion rings, fried eggs with fries, paella and different stews, also some desserts like brownies and elaborate milkshakes (but those are so easy they do not count really)
Not higher because I don't cook often due to my mother doing it daily, but I can consider myself way above competent

Compared to professionals? Maybe a 4 or 5. I have loads of kitchen experience, but it's mostly corporate horseshit. I know many techniques and have very good movement and time-management skills. My depth of knowledge on recipes is limited.

Compared to the general public? 8.5 or 9. I can cook a well-prepared meal in most any variety. Give me a recipe and I can usually knock it out of the park.

Once thought it was a good idea to add mint flavouring/ essence to my fathers coffee so he would have minty coffee.

Once had to make a soy sauce sort of thing, ended up being thicker than peanut butter.
Brought a cheese making kit, started boiling the water and added culture and milk, next morning it was still liquid.

Though I once made myself a potato and peanut butter sandwich which was nice, and I’m good at making melted sandwich

Went to culinary school and have been cooking professionally full time for half a decade, but know that if I walked into a Michelin starred kitchen I'd probably get laughed out on my first shift if they actually put me on the line. As a home cook I'd be pretty high by the standards in this thread, but I also don't cook much at home and don't really have anyone to cook for.

6 or 7 for a home cook. I can shop, manage the fridge/larder and turn out tasty, healthy meals on a reasonable budget without resorting to mixes and convenience food products. And do it for at least 12 meals a week for two people on a budget of $30-$50. Friends seem eager for dinner invites, so I guess I'm good within my narrow area of expertise. But I wouldn't last a day in a pro kitchen. So by pro standards I'd be a 3 at best, because I know what to do, but couldn't do it fast enough under pressure.

Probably an 8 out of 10 but I'm not sure how the scale is supposed to work. Are we talking about the whole planet or are we talking about skill level or what? I would say head to head against most people in the world I would beat them if you just pluck two humans at random. However, there are a lot of people who are better than I am. I'd say skill wise 20% of chefs are better than I am. That is a lot of people but if you consider how many people there are in the world versus people in the industry you're looking at a small percentage of people. On that scale pretty much anyone with a love of cooking and some experience is going to be in the top 20% or even 10% just because of how large Earth's population is making many ITT and 8 or 9.

Anyway, you asked for justification. Perhaps that will give a better idea than my arbitrary rating does: I am an ACF CEC which there aren't that many of and it wasn't easy to get. I grew up on a farm and have cooked and been around a culture of food and cooking all of my life. I run, but do not own, an independent restaurant group. I have started and owned three small businesses one of which did not pan out and the other two I am continuing to develop as time allows for when I leave the restaurant group down the road. I've been working in the industry for over a decade now and have worked in a few different countries for a while as well under some good chefs. I regularly participate in national and international competitions like Expogast and Hotelympia.

Consistently good, lots of compliments on my cooking, don't need a recipe if I don't want, have really good judgement about whether or not a recipe will be any good, good judgement on flavours and whether or not they go together. Severe limitations on my skills because there are a couple of big food groups I don't like so I never learned to cook and never will. Also not a pro and anything above a 7/10 should be a pro or have had pro training IMO.

6/10. I can follow any recipe perfectly and substitute certain hard to get ingredients for ones that I can acquire locally. In a pinch, I'm able to make up a recipe with what I have and it always turns out decent. I also used to work in the kitchen of a hotel as a kid and learned how properly work with a knife. Some people think I'm an amazing cook, but I know I don't even come close to any chef of a mid-tier restaurant.

I can cook most things, even challenging dishes, generally they turn out excellent. I understand food chemistry and flavour and texture theory enough to go freestyle, experiment, or make my own culinary innovations.
But I can't plate my food well, I tend to rely just a hair too much on oils, and I do still screw up the occasional dish.

Good basic kitchen knowledge. Enough to know why certain techniques are used. Mostly cook for myself so dont really know how well people like my food. Never had complaints except for accidentally over-salting some steaks for my dad and me. Good at following almost any recipe, I just lack a very-refined palate and have some trouble when it comes to adding acid and creating a good balance to a dish. I don't cook a wide variety of things but am slowly learning more and more dishes.
Overall I know I can cook pretty decent, but I am also realistic about my skills in the kitchen.

Probably a 6/10 as a cook, though I would consider it a different rating scale than a chef. I don't have formal training or an encyclopedic knowledge of techniques or cuisines, but... I can't remember my last egregious fuckup in the kitchen. I have solid knife skills, knowledge of techniques, and a pretty wide suite of recipes that I rotate in and out. I pay attention to the quality of my ingredients and cook seasonally. When I try new a recipe I'm usually able to synthesize a bunch of different variations to come up with something that suits my palate, and I feel like I'm fairly objective in pointing out the things I could change or do better. When I cook for others, I almost always satisfy my family, friends, and guests.

My opportunities would be to learn more techniques, expand my range of different cuisines, and continue to refine my knife skills (i.e. I could do better at breaking down a chicken, filleting fresh fish rather than buying steaks/fillets, getting more comfortable using a cleaver to mince meat).

I come from a family of shit cooks and bakers who have awful cooking habits. They always call me up to ask advice on how to cook something or how to fix some monstrosity they made. However my father is stubborn and can't believe the reason my burgers aren't garbage like his is because I buy beef and mix seasonings into it, whereas he buys premade burger patties.

fairly decent amount of knowledge and practice preparing food, but I have too many meme restrictions on what i enjoy cooking for most people to actually respect what I cook.

Also, I forgot to note that I quite a bit lower when it comes to pastry so I guess that could have an impact on my score because of that but I generally separate the two.

I'm pretty decent with pastry, sugar work, etc but well behind a lot of pastry chefs just because I'm not super into it. I've always had a pastry chef that takes care of all of that.
