Oh no, I'm retarded

Well, that 88.68% higher than 13391 stat could still put you in the first decile if a few hundred thousand people have taken the test.

But this makes no sense doesn't it? It looks like the intention is

"You're score is higher than 88.68% of 13391 participants who have completed the test."

What it's literally saying is that 13391 participants got a score 88.68% lower than yours
