Internet Explorer users have a lower than average IQ, according to research by Consulting firm AptiQuant.

The study gave web surfers an IQ test, then plotted their scores against the browser they used.
IE surfers were found to have an average IQ lower than people using Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Users of Camino and Opera rated highest.


The report has sparked anger from IE supporters, who have threatened AptiQuant with legal action.
Researchers gave over 100,000 web surfers a free online IQ test. Scores were stored in a database along with each person's web browser data.


The results suggested that Internet Explorer surfers had an average IQ in the low eighties. Chrome, Firefox and Safari rated over 100, while minority browsers Opera and Camino had an "exceptionally higher" score of over 120.


AptiQuant stressed that using IE doesn't mean you have low intelligence. "What it really says is that if you have a low IQ then there are high chances that you use Internet Explorer," said AptiQuant CEO Leonard Howard.


I use Safari usually. :D

Internet Explorer story was bogus

A story which suggested that users of Internet Explorer have a lower IQ than people who chose other browsers appears to have been an elaborate hoax.

It does yes but what browser you use isn't an indication of your intelegence, it doesn't even make sense.

IQ doesn't mesure your computer skill level.

I have a high IQ, and I use IE. I only use it because my parents pay for the internet, though, and now that I think about it, they aren't exactly computer savy people. ;)

You are aware that an alternate browser such as FireFox and Chrome are free and don't add anything to the cost of the internet? You should probably just install it anyway and educate your perants.

Good idea! What are the benefits of installing Chrome or FireFox? I'm honestly getting sick of IE.

And btw Rogue, nice new sig set. :)

They're much faster than IE from what I remember of using IE, and they don't freeze up as much with some content. Firefox is also very customizable, which can be pretty fun.

Google chrome has themes. I have a roronoa zoro theme. Yeahhh.

Well anyway I think google Chrome is the best in terms of layout, and speed of pages loading and response times, but it's also easier to navigate I think which makes it faster, although other people might find the others easier to navigate. Google Chrome is designed to be more user friendly. Like in the Options section the section headings are "Basics", "Personal Stuff" and "Under the Bonnet".
