However, many people would suggest that high IQ scores simply mean that you're good at doing IQ tests ;-)
(My own IQ usually comes out in the range 138 to 143 but, apart from being able to research questions on AB, it doesn't seem to have any relevance to 'real life'!).

My sister had IQ tests (amongst various tests because she wouldn't eat normally - this was the seventies) when she was an extremely young lassie of about 3.
The test results suggested her IQ was about genius level. The tester was made up with her and requested she come back for more, the results of which were not genius level. She was a normal child for her age.
The tester was really gutted. My mum offered her condolences, because my sister had been doing the exact same 'games' at her nursery for a good couple of months and no one had told the tester this.
Apparantly, the nursery nurses said they'd had a few erroneous results like this because the kids had been playing these games.
Ha Ha Ha. Not. Practicing doesn�t give an adult a higher IQ. It does give kids higher apparent IQs, though.
There have to be genius brains floating round the tribes in South America who love their lives as they are. They are problem solvers, helpers out of everyone around them and medics. But I bet they'd fail a conventional IQ test.
My IQ result has always been 138. The story of my sister�s IQ is a family tale we tell to all and one day she will tell me what it actually is. Whatever her IQ is, she is still a nicer, more organised and more caring person that I am.

Yeah 120 is OK
Certainly better than 80 - that is twenty degrees under - which you can sort of tell in a child.
I have a siimilar story to tell, when a sibling was dragged off to a psych because he was the dope of the family.
IQ turned out to be 100 = normal. A lot of awkward coughing then.
we were considered underachievers because all four children of a neighbour went to Oxbridge and we didnt
At your age, I did a know your own IQ test and came out as 155, 168 and 170 and was told quite truthfully that it couldnt be that high and there must be an element of learning, someone else in the class got 205
and you know, no we werent geniuses.
But on the other hand, teachers are quite ready to label their pupils dopey when they are not.

NiceCupOfTea, read this:

IQ is connected to quite a few real life things.

Someone can have a high IQ, but their personality will also dictate if they're successful or not surely?
You could have a sky high IQ but no self esteem, for example. This could lead you to end up looking like someone on the lower end of the scale you pointed me to on wikipedia. Or would that be called eccentricity? Probably.
If you're too brainy you might not connect to any one around you. That would be too awful.

bigmamma - I'm actually a coffee queen I'm afraid.
My granny always joins in all arguments with 'shall we have a nice cup of tea, then?' hence the name.
With hindsight we've realised that she always asks the question at very strategic points and have now decided that she has sorted out more arguments than any problem solver in the UN ever has. Sort of.
