Is an IQ of 125 mediocre?

[OldSpooky]

My parents tried to hide mine, but they failed to hide my elementary school psychologists' report: 131.

I don't even remember much about the IQ test. I put together some funny puzzles, and explained the advantages of hardcover and softcover books. hahaha - I do remember saying that hardcover books were hard to break and more expensive, but I liked softcover books because they were cheaper and I could buy more of them.

125 is certainly not mediocre. It's not how much processing power you have, it's how you use it.

I took a practice Mensa test and passed it. IQ is worthless though. So you know that a Peep is like a Plop, if a Flurt is like a Glap. Who %$@&* cares?

In all seriousness, you're fine. Don't put much stock in that though. Who's smarter? The guy with a 110 IQ that has a high-paying job and wonderful life, or the guy with a 150 IQ that lives in his parent's basement and is mad at the world?

Amen to that!

It does'nt mean anything other than you have ability.

Life though does'nt pay anyone for ability it pays for sticking with something/persistance and hardwork.
Look at our president.

Just as the myopic will assign importance to attractiveness and wealth they will also assign importance to the intellect. Just trust in your abilities and you'll be fine. Social ladder bickering is better off left to chimps and dogs.

How do you know your IQ is 125 though? What I mean is IQ is one of those things thats almost impossible to quantify. You could take another examination and come out with a 150, or a 100. I don't put much stock in IQ examinations even though I have never taken one. I just don't feel the concept is valid.
