Welcome to the forum, kallag. It strikes me as an unlikely sentence, in part because I can’t create what must have been said before that justifies this ‘result’. Putting aside all but the grammar, it isn’t usual to avoid the “less x than” comparison formula.

I may have less competitiveness . . .
This means you have less urge to win. less drive to be better than other people..
I hope you are not going to say this in a job application.
I may be less competitive . . . is not much better.
