I compare with my own efforts. Each project is unique, each project manager [person] has their own uniqueness, thus, I don't see any value in comparing with others. Additionally, like when we're growing up, we are taught to focus on our own actions and strive to be the best we can be.
Andrew in some field it is a good idea to compare I understand your point of been unique. Saving Changes...
Just sharing ideas, there should be tools or website where a PM can measure his status by input of some typical data and learn which areas need to be developed as an output. The development could be training, self study or any other means. Then sometime go back to the tool and see where you currently stand now and the next areas if any to put attention to. Like progressive elaboration process in developing personal standard.
Mahabubur, we are in the inception phase of that tool see the level of efforts of our Guru Kevin Saving Changes...
I always equate project management to my two favorite sports - golf & weight-lifting. In non-professional scenarios for these sports, we don't compare ourselves to others, but to our baseline and we seek to constantly improve ourselves. As such, I like to know where I am right now, and strive for a personal best as I know there will always be those who are better golfers and weight-lifters than me.

Kiron, thanks for your commit however as we do have benchmarking one of the tools used so why not applied to self measurement as well, of course in some aspects not everything Saving Changes...
