I don't think it is possible to really be sure that you are a 10x engineer - it's more of an outside validation thing. Everyone thinks they're really good and that only they run into weird emotional issues that slow them down. People like to rationalize. If you see one of your co-workers doing 10x the work of your other co-workers at high quality, then it's much easier to label them at a 10x engineer than trying to label yourself. Objective vs subjective.
