points breakdown - what is the percentile thingy representing?

Question

My points breakdown -

Points Breakdown All time 2,983 Year 2,983 Month 2,983 Week 2,983 24 hrs. 1,481 83° percentile

What does it mean that I'm on the 83 percentile?

Answer 1

"83 percentile means you have a higher score (whatever the score is) than 83% of the people who are being scored. Just like in the SATs."

I got this from a question that was posted previously about something very similar. It's here if you want to look at it.
