If you have gotten an IQ score from a qualified and reliable source (NOT an online test!) then it would have been explained to you. If not, research it.

IQ doesn't really say anything about your character. It is merely a test of how well and how fast you can recognize patterns in any given system. What matters most in life is your character and your values that support it.
If you're asking about whether the IQ of 133 is good or bad, then I'd say that it's good, but don't let it determine your self-esteem. IQ can increase or decrease according to the effort one puts in. Use it or lose it.
According to the Bell Curve, 100 is the average of all IQ scores. Hence, you're quite above average, because the maximum IQ score is only a little above 180. There are very few people below IQs of 60 and above IQs of 140.

IQ scores are based upon the bell curve. Each section of the curve signifies a 15 point range. Those right smack dab in the middle of average will have an IQ of 100. Add or subtract 15 from 100 for each successive range. The further to the right you go, the higher the score. The further to the left, the lower the score. The number of people within each range deminishes with each succesive range the further right/left you go after the 85-115 "normal" range. You are in the 130-145 range assuming the test you took is reliable/valid. This puts you in a range that contains fewer people than the previous range, but more than in the next higher range. Whether it is good or bad is a matter of opinion. You may be highly intelligent, but have no common sense. You may be able to solve complex equations with full understanding, but walk out in front of a bus and get run over.
Just as an aside, I would advise against listing your full name on the Internet. It's too easy to cause havock on people if your name is out for all to see.

From my knowledge 133 is not necessarily bad. The average IQ of certain people I know(who, I assume, are quite a little ways above average) range 140-150.
You're "safe" above 120. 133, I assume, is average.
