IQ stands for intelligence quotient. Supposedly, it is a score that tells one how bright a person is compared to other people. The average IQ is by definition 100; scores above 100 indicate a higher than average IQ and scores below 100 indicate a lower that average IQ. Theoretically, scores can range any amount below or above 100, but in practice they do not meaningfully go much below 50 or above 150.
Half of the population have IQs of between 90 and 110, while 25% have higher IQ�s and 25% have lower IQ�s:

An intelligence quotient or IQ is a score derived from a set of standardized tests of intelligence. Intelligence tests come in many forms, and some tests use a single type of item or question. Most tests yield both an overall score and individual subtest scores. Regardless of design, all IQ tests attempt to measure the same general intelligence.[1] Component tests are generally designed and selected because they are found to be predictive of later intellectual development, such as educational achievement. IQ also correlates with job performance, socioeconomic advancement, and "social pathologies". Recent work has demonstrated links between IQ and health, longevity, and functional literacy.

Don't forget age plays a role here. A fourteen year old with an IQ of 140 is not as smart as a 60 year old with the same IQ.
Originally the age was even used in a formula, but not anymore.
