(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%).
