Which IQ test do you refer to? Stanford-Binet?

The term "IQ score" is widely used but poorly defined. There
are a large number of tests with different scales. The result
on one test of 132 can be the same as a score 148 on another
test. Some intelligence tests don't use IQ scores at all.
Mensa has set a percentage as cutoff to avoid this confusion.
Candidates for membership in Mensa must achieve a score at or
above the 98th percentile (a score that is greater than or
equal to 98 percent of the general population taking the
test) on a standard test of intelligence.

This corresponds to a IQ score of 148 on the Cattell Culture Free
scale, which might, or might not, correspond to your "120" value,
depending on what scale you refer to.
