Scored 87% above native speakers with CEFR level C2 and 21100 word families. I wonder if the study found anyone at the very top of the scale?

Same score. The honesty check for 'Invidious' seemed to not provide a particularly appropriate definition option. I see it mostly used when paired with the word 'comparison' ('Invidious comparison') In the sense that it's kind of intentionally calculated to create an unfair/inaccurate comparison of some sort. 'Unfairly discriminatory' was the choice they apparently were looking for, because I see nothing was scored against me ('Answered word-meaning checks correctly (4/4)').
Unfairly discriminatory | Mostly positive | publicly accepted | Socially Neutral
