135 would be in the high end, but still below "genius" level. It means you have the abilities to do whatever you want in life!! Great job!

I find it hard to believe that you're fourteen and have a 135 IQ and you don't know if it's a good score or not. Just how sheltered are you? 100 is average. 135 is well above average but not a genius. I think you have to have like a 140 or 145 or something to qualify as "gifted" for school, but that's just for lower grades. Kind of a dumb question for an above-average IQ. Are you sure it was 135?
You need to read more and improve your grammar and typing skills. IQ is like an indication of your potential--it doesn't mean you're smart. Are you fishing for compliments? Geez. I don't mean to crush your soul or anything but...I would have expected more from a 135 IQ.

I am assuming that is on the Stafford Scale. 135 is a superior scoring just below gifted level, which begins around 142, and just above the above average rating. 100 is typically the average IQ. To get into MENSA you require an IQ in the top 2%, yours would fall in the top 4% of the population.

I have an I.Q. of 145 and trust me, after years of experience I have found out a high score only means you are good at doing I.Q. tests. It's how you apply youself that counts and I always had problems with this since I'm a lazy sumbitch!
So, the end result of how well you will do in life is not how smart you are, but how you deal with things!

Well, you can't join Mensa, but you are quite bright. Don't ever let anyone tell you that boys don't like smart girls. Smart boys do. I had pretty much the same thing happen to me many many years ago and I had no more idea than you have right now, but my family put so much pressure on me, they made me hate being smart. They made me feel like I never measured up to those scores. Don't let that happen to you. Be curious, investigate, learn and most of all, be happy you have something going on upstairs most people don't. Never hide your intelligence. I don't care what the magazines say. Expand your horizons and you expand your life. You are very smart, take advantage of what you have been given.

use your 14 year old brain and learn what IQ is. having 135 means you have the intellegence of a ~18 year old. 135 isn't too high, but it is above average. Of all of my friends, I have the lowest IQ and it is still 145. so- keep learning more!

That's on the high end of things. Having a high IQ suggests great mental potential, but certainly doesn't guarantee success or happiness. Stay focused in school and put that brain to use.

Sounds like you are a real boaster to me. A person with that IQ score would use better english.

I think anything over 100 is good for your age, but I am not an expert. I believe all these tests do is test your ability to take tests.

That means you're above average. Oddly enough, you failed to realize the very fact. Guess that says something about what your IQ means.
