text: is 124 a good iq?   better than average   average is usually set to 100 and standard deviation around 16   so you would be in the top 40% of people   an iq of 124 would generally get you through an undergraduate degree at an average college  masters degree would  normally require about 132 or more  remember though iq  aint everything - better to have a nice mix of eq (emotional intelligence) and bq (body intelligence - ability to move etc) than just a real high iq
