Not that you're still not #3 in the world, but it's been used by so many 
more people in the past few years so I am figuring it'll be harder to 
get the #3 in the world. Also, I didn't get the position in the world, 
but a "you're in the XX percentile".

Exactly. And it's the only real test one can do to guage themselves as 
to how well they're doing compared to the tens of thousands of others 
who took it. Which is a good way to measure. It has worked for me.
