That's good, especially since english isn't your first language. The average score is 100,so you're above average.

I have to ask under what circumstances this test was done before I can give you an honest answer. The standard range for "intellegence" is between 100-120. Anything about 130 is considered gifted. (Take that as you may)
Personally, I find it amusing that people determine how intelligent you are based upon a standardized test that has many cultural biases. Trust me they aren't accurate. My IQ was weighed in around 140 and I spell horribly.Intelligence is determined by one's own ambition to learn.
These so called IQ test were mostly developed to help children who have a learning disability be classified so that they could recieve help from the state. Anything below 90 usually constitutes some form of assistance from the government.
Another example of this...Rorshack (sp) test. What I see is not necessarily what you see.
My advice don't get hung up on numbers. Do the best you can. Most people that walk around this planet are of above intelligence.
Read and educate yourself..don't rely on others to educate you. Apparently you have done that already by learning English. I realize it's a scary thing to actually speak English in the United States but kudos for taking the intiative to learn it.
Just my thoughts

I wonder what your IQ would be if you were tested in your native language.
As others have said, 108 is at the upper end of average, so you're just fine.
By the way, English is capitalized. Maybe that'll add a point if you're tested again.

First of all, IQ should not have anything to do with age. it tests your intelligence, not how much you know. anyone can answer the questions, it is just a matter of how quickly and accurately you can do it.'
Second of all, if it was an online test, chances are it is not really accurate. You might get a 120 on one and a 103 on another.

108 is considered in the average range on the high end. Typically 85-100 is average, so you are slightly above.

108 is a good score, towards the upper side of average intelligence.

Mine is over 130 and English is not my first language either.

Probably good. You are somewhat above average and probably higher than that depending on how language biased the test was.
