Do you have the score break down on the IQ test? Sometimes, low scores in one area that doesn't have much to do with general intelligence, such as processing speed or working memory, bring down the "full scale" score into the average range. It is unusual (although not impossible) to have achievement scores that are significantly higher than IQ.

If the psychologist's report described you as gifted in reading and writing, it is likely that your verbal IQ, at least, is high.
