I took an adult IQ test.

Yes. An IQ of 116 is good for a person of any age.
IQ tests for children are not as accurate as those for adults, because they rely so much on your education level. If you are just a year ahead of your peers when you are young, your IQ is likely to be very high; conversely, if you are just a year behind your peers, you may test low.
As you age, these fluctuations get smaller. So, you may say a person's IQ range by as much as 30-40 points before they reach adulthood.
You have nothing to worry about with a 116 IQ. Anything above 100 is considered above average. Furthermore, you can boost your IQ score by reading, practicing math, learning logic and building memory skills.

It indicates that the child comprehends things on a level roughly 16% higher than other's his/her age.
Whether at 12 or 44, IQ should remain about the same, though the value of good teachers is priceless and curiousity can outstrip raw computing power in improving skills that show up on IQ tests.

IQ is largely age independent. It is a measure of capability, not actual ability.
116 is not exceptional, nor is it poor.
