IQ scores are normallized so that the mean (average) is 100 and the standard deviation is 16. Also, IQ scores are normally distributed. So, using this information, you are 1.69 standard deviations above average, which puts you at the 95th percentile, meaning that your IQ score is as good or better than 95% of all IQ scores.

127 puts you well above average, probably somewhere in the top 10 to 15% of the population.
The overall average IQ in a developed nation is 101 with the large majority falling between 80 and 120.
Some sources will cite that genius level is regarded as an IQ of 135 but the more accurate level is 150, an IQ which is attained by less than 1% of the population.
Any IQ test is open to some degree of inaccuracy - answering a single question differently can result in a difference of 1 or 2 IQ points (depending on the number of questions in the test - ideally 100 or so). Also, you should take an average from different tests as results will vary, the 3 times I've been tested have a difference of 24 points between the highest and lowest scores. There's also Probability Errors (PE) and Standard Deviation (SD) to take into account.
Scoring 127 is a good score by any standards - you may even find your IQ is higher than that after you've taken other IQ tests.

if it is a valid standardized IQ test then usually anything above 120 is in the super to very superior range.

Very good. You're 27 points above average. Celebrate with a little Shakespeare.

If your IQ is 127, you should be able to figure this out without asking us.
