135 isn't THAT unusual, statistically 1 out of 70 people will have it. 145 is much more unusual, statistically 1 out of 400 will have it. Nihil could explain it in terms of sigma, but he's a statistician, and I don't understand statistics all that well. Here is a chart: eskimo.com The good thing about 135 to 145 IQs is that they are bright enough to have advantages, but not so bright as to find it difficult to interact with their peers. That's what I've read, anyway. I don't know my own IQ score, I've always been reluctant to find out what it is, if it's low I'm afraid I'll feel bad, and if it's high I'm afraid I'll go around acting superior, neither of which are Good Things. Edit: IQ tests of young children are not all that reliable, that's what I've read, anyway. Their tests may well go up as they get older.
