Using potential doubts/weaknesses to highlight setbacks and potential strength too risky for an interview?

Assuming I do good on the qualitative questions and the more finance technical questions, I can ask how I compared to candidates in the industry/fresh grads. By asking I can highlight the fact that I did decently well despite the circumstances. It'll be like saying "Hey, look at what I can do in an unfavorable position. Imagine what I can do once we get the ball rolling."

What is a good subtle way of hinting at my drawbacks/strengths?
