I got 92% above native speakers as well with C2 level and 99.9% above non-native speakers. Since I learned English properly at age 13 when I moved to US, I am very pleased with that. I did the Russian test for fun as well, and I expected it to be much lower since I don't use it as much above regular conversation - no fancy words for me. I got 64% there, which is not surprising. I did know a lot of words because of their English origins, interestingly.
