below average!

http://www.businessinsider.com/study-internet-explorer-users-are-dumber-2011-7?op=1

"It found that there was no substantial difference between users of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera.

But Internet Explorer users had IQs below average."


made me laugh.

Internet IQ tests are complete crap and should never be trusted as accurate.

They are going to be taking away the ability to use any browser except for IE at work as we'll have to run it from a proxy server. Apparently the solution doesn't work with anything other than IE.

They are doing this for security.....

Agreed, I used this as a joke on another thread. It's just more of the long standing browser war shots. tongue

The WAIS-IV has to be administered by a clinician rather than being available online and takes about an hour or more to do.

Also they claim an average IQ in the 80's for some IE users, ie almost a full SD below 'normal'.

I suspect this whole thing is a leg-pull for marketting.

The story is now confirmed to be bogus.

Mind you, if the reported survey result had been the other way round it would have been more believeable wink !

What we seriously know is true is that choosing a browser is down to a combination of what you want from it, and your degree of computer saviness. Nothing to do with intelligence whatsover.

Next topic please!

I heard your browser choice was directly related to the size of your private parts...
