Well, 140 and up is considered to be the score of a genius. I've gotten a 130 on it before...
I think 102 is more of an average score.

Your score is considered an average one. By definition, the average IQ is 100, so you are slightly over the average. It's a good score. About 50% of people get a score in the range of 90-110. What your score tells you, is that you are following the average path of mental development for your age, which is great! Bear in mind, however, that your score is not exceptional. A high IQ score is generally considered to be 120 or more. Here's the generally accepted scale for interpreting IQ scores:
140+ Extraordinary intelligence
130-140 Very superior intelligence
120-130 Superior intelligence
110-120 High average intelligence
90-110 Average intelligence
To sum up, you should be proud of your score, but don't go bragging too much about it:))

It isn't high; it's average. It isn't low, though, either. Remember, also, that IQ tests measure your capacity to learn not your willingness to learn or, even, how smart or stupid you are. You could have an IQ of 180 and be less smart tha the average person simply because you could choose not to learn more.
At 102 your IQ suggests you have the ability to learn to do anything, really. You won't be the smartest mathematician but you could well be creative enough to approach a problem in ways those with higher IQs cannot. You can still win a Nobel Prize.
IQ numbers are just numbers. The human mind is capable of far more than can ever be accounted for by any test we can come up with (ok, save for coming up with a test that can score our intellect on a truly universal level).
A high IQ (over 120) does nothing to suggest a person's abilities in life. In fact, by definition, anyone with a higher than normal IQ is as abnormal as anyone with a lower than average IQ.

You are average - sorry for the disappointing news. High is 115 and up.

No. It's not really what you would call high.
