What does an IQ of 135 mean?
An IQ of 135 is well into the "gifted" range, ahead of about 99 out of 100 people, or roughly the top 1%.
A score of 135 is more than two standard deviations above the average. It is above the common gifted cutoff of 130 and above the usual Mensa threshold (top 2%).
About 1 in 100 people score at or above 135. Qualifying for a high-IQ society at this level still requires a supervised, standardised test, not a free online one.
What an IQ of 135 does not tell you
A 135 from a quick online test is an estimate, and free tests can run high. Even a verified score describes test performance, not creativity, persistence, or accomplishment.
