The strict technical answer is that IQ (the initials stand for Intelligence Quotient) is calculated by dividing mental age by chronological age and multiplying by 100 - i.e. that at the age of 10 the person can perform the appropriate tasks of mental reasoning and agility that would be expected of an average 12 year old.
The concept has long been the subject of considerable controversy amongst psychologists and educationalists, and doubtless you'll learn about some of them shortly ... and you can use a search engine to get into the controversy. But that answer tells you how the concept was originally defined.

100 is considered average, and 90-100 is in the normal range. An IQ of 120 is somewhat above average. Your IQ score is divided over what is considered average for a mature person of age 18 or over. 18/18=100%. Below normal are morons, imbeciles and idiots. Above normal are bright people and geniuses.

You are very intelligent, 100 or less is about the average, mine is 146 but Im just getting off drugs trying to move out of my parents house and all around putting my life back together. So your IQ doesnt really mean a whole lot, I be more concerned about my motivation and decision making abilities.

100 is average, so you are above average intelligence if your IQ is 120. That's basically all it means.

If your I.Q. is 120 that tells you that, your I.Q. is 120.
That's a pretty good score your probably bright and clever. Sometimes a persons I CAN is more important than their I.Q.

It means you are putting too much time into wanting to know if you are smart or not.
