it's not EXCEPTIONALLY good, but it is high enough to be nicely above the average.
you are apparently smarter than the average bear.

IQ Scores & Ratings
What is a good IQ score? What is a high IQ score? What is a low IQ score? These are common questions, particularly after someone finds out their score from an IQ test.
Lewis Terman (1916) developed the original notion of IQ and proposed this scale for classifying IQ scores:
Over 140 - Genius or near genius
120 - 140 - Very superior intelligence (you are here)
110 - 119 - Superior intelligence
90 - 109 - Normal or average intelligence
80 - 89 - Dullness
70 - 79 - Borderline deficiency
Under 70 - Definite feeble-mindedness
The last one I took I scored 134 (I'm right there with you girl; go girl!!)

You expect me to beleive that you just took an IQ test and got results at 121, but the test didnt explain what the results meant? I find that very hard to beleive, and think you are just fishing for compliments.
121 IQ is slightly above average. It means nothing in the grand scheme of things. 70 and below is mental retardation. Genius is over 180.

Greetings!
The average IQ is 100. Scoring 121 puts you into the top ten percentile of the American population. Genius is 169.
Good Luck

It means you're in the 91% precentile. Other words, you did better than 90% of those who took the same IQ test. Just remember if you took an IQ test with Ivy League graduates, and you scored in the 91% precentile you are smarter than a lot of brilliant people.

Average IQ is between 90 and 110. So 121 is higher than average. Good for you! Now remember this: unto whom much is given, much is required!

It's a pretty good score, but I don't think IQ really matters unless it's really high like over 200 or low like 50

Yes. More than enough 100 IQ is normal.

121 is very good. It is 1.31 standard deviations above the average
IQ. About 90.5% of people have lower IQ's
