Provided you are coping in all other areas of your life I wouldn't let a sub 60 score bother you too much.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself

If it was a real mensa one I would trust the score. If it's from any other source I wouldn't. They are likely to show a bigger score so people share them on facebook and ting.
And IQ is how good you are at IQ tests. It might be of no practical use but if you are good at the analytical and logical questions that IQ tests ask then you have a high IQ.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
And you'll have doubled @randomhandclaps score...... B-)

Yup. Intelligence isn't measured in IQ tests. IQ is. Intelligence is much more subjective and immeasurable because everyone has their own view on what it constitutes. IQ is objective and measurable.
I've no time for IQ, and MENSA just seems to be a knocking shop for smug pedants
Moderately clever people underestimate their intelligence. Very clever people know that they are very clever. Unfortunately, stupid people think that they are very clever too.
Sadly, stupid people think everyone else is stupid, even other stupid people. IQ is moderately helpful because it provides an objective way for very clever people to wave it at a stupid person and say, "Look! I'm not stupid. I have a high IQ. I also think that I am very clever and since only very clever people and stupid people think that they are very clever, and we have already shown that I am not stupid, I must be very clever. QED." The stupid person (who probably won't understand the argument) will then point out that not being good at IQ tests does not indicate stupidity therefore being good at IQ tests does not indicate cleverness (because they are stupid and don't understand logic).
Others reputedly have low IQ levels, but are capable of feeding and clothing vast elements of the population and thus have the ability to maintain and transform humanity too.
Don't get too hung up on IQ, so called common sense isn't so common but is very useful.

People of all intelligence levels constantly underestimate the amount of loo roll required before starting.
