It is something of a social faux-pas, unless IQ is, in fact, the topic of discussion. If the IQ in question is high, then offering the information can seem like boasting or snobbery. Better to wait until asked, or if the IQ is no higher than the average, maybe fit it in as a joke (again - in context). Keep in mind that your IQ is just a number from a test result. It is meant as a guide, not a true measurement like your height and weight (which should also seldom be volunteered in most social circles). IQ's are assumed to be related to intelligence. It may not be wrong to mention your IQ, but your reason for doing so will be questioned (even if not out loud).

What do most people say makes life meaningful A lots of money B lots of power C high IQ D social relationships?

D. Social relationships. Many people find that the connections they have with others, such as friends, family, and partners, bring meaning and fulfillment to their lives more than money, power, or intelligence. Strong relationships provide support, companionship, and a sense of belonging that can contribute greatly to one's overall sense of purpose and satisfaction.


Is it good that my IQ is 136 and I'm a 15 year old boy?

That is really high for a 15 year old. However, how do you know that your IQ is 136? It cannot be determined by one test. The fact that you asked this question proves that your IQ is not 136 and must have got the wrong score. Obviously an IQ of 136 is really great without any questions even if you are over 20.
