It's high, but that's not necessarily GOOD.

Hi Andrei
Good for what?
In the first place it depends on which brand og IQ test was being used. On some this would be the bottom end of genius, on others it would be 7-10 points short of genius.
More important than that, though, is the nature of IQ tests in general.
Firstly because IQ syupposedly stands for "intelligence" quotient. But since there is no commonly agreed definition of "intelligence" the title doesn't mean a thing.
Secondly, because IQ tests don't actually measure anything more than a person's ability to do that particular kind of test.
That is to say, someone who did a variety of different IQ tests would not be guaranteed to get consistent results across all of them.
Thirdly, because IQ scores don't seem to have much value in terms of predicting someone's level of success.
A person's results on IQ tests DOES seem to relate quite closely to their results in tests and exams. But NOT to what kind of job they will get, what kind of salary they will earn, or how much of a success they will make of their lives.
That's probably because IQ tests are often devised by people who are linked to education, so the contents of the test somehow reflect the corrsponding educational system.
Doing well in life, on the other hand, owes a very great deal to how well you manage yourself and your relationships with other people. Which is why Daniel Goleman was able to argue that success in business has a lot more to do with Emotional Intelligence (EI) than with mere IQ.

Yes it means that you are an exceptionally fast learner. But if this IQ was given to you by a wabsite it actually has no merit as a website can't accurately test your IQ. Mensa membership cut off point is 143 so try a little harder next time.

The average score on an intelligence test is 100. If you have a couple of points less, that still doesn't make you the village idiot. If you have a couple more, you're still no competition for Einstein. 140 is pretty darn good. Check Wikipedia for all the details.

It's good. I think 120 is the IQ of an average individual.

Yes it's a nice IQ because a person having IQ below 100 is considered retarded, of 100 average and above 100 BRILLIANT!
