You are average. 90-110 is the range for average. Persons with scores below 90 to 70 are low and will need much help in school. Scores below 70 indicate varying levels of retardation although many in this area are educable and have much to offer to society. Those above 130 are considered gifted and have been overlooked in various school systems in the past. In the last 40 years or so there has been more emphasis on introducing programmes have been initiated to teach to the needs of the gifted and talented.

(I am answering the question assuming it can fairly be rephrased "How does an IQ of 106 rate/rank on an IQ scale") By definition, an IQ of 100 is "average". Therefore a score of 106 is slightly above average. More specifically, using the WAIS/Stanford Binet definition wherein a standard deviation of 0.25 corresponds to 4 IQ points, an IQ of 106 roughly corresponds to a standard deviation of 0.38/0.39. What all that means is that an IQ of 106 roughly corresponds to a percentile rank within the population of about 65%, or, in other words, a person with an IQ of 106 is "smarter" than 65% of the population. By one accounting, the average college graduate has an IQ of 116 (and a percentile rank of 84%).
absolutely, IQ is not a total determinant factor on how smart you are.
Definitely not. Im 12 and i have 106. Believe me.
its average
yes it is
IQ does not change with age. Here is the population curve for IQ scores: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IQ_curve.svg An IQ of 100 is average.
A score of 106 is slightly above average. Age and sex are irrelevant.
The mean IQ is a score of 100.
IQ (intelligence quotient) is defined as mental age divided by actual age multiplied by 100. Therefor, an IQ of 100 indicates that you're intelligence roughly matches what is considered average for your age. IQ rarely changes much with age. Therefor, on IQ of 106 means that for your entire life, your intelligence (as ranked by an IQ test) will be at or slightly above average.
yes it's o.k
