The score, if it's a valid test (and MENSA can tell you which tests are valid), is a measure of your aptidue for learning, not neccesarily how "smart" you are. If you scored 144 you're in the top 2% of the nation (just) and most likely eligible for membership with MENSA.
Now, different scores mean different things on different tests. A score of 144 on one test might actually translate to score of 132 on another test, so if you're truly curious contact MENSA for help.
I qualified as a result of my high school test scores (they gave us I.Q. tests way back then without telling us what they were), but I decided to make sure it wasn't a fluke and went to an official MENSA test meeting. They gave me two different kinds of tests (because some people do well on the first test, and some always do better after they've relaxed and take another test). They accept they highest score, on whichever test you take. When I took it a score of 145 got you in on one test, and a scroe of 150 got you in on the other.
