According to a research by consulting firm AptiQuant, users of Microsoft Internet Explorer browser have an average IQ lower than those who use Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and even Apple's Safari.
Aptiquant apparently gave free online IQ tests to 100000 people before plotting the scores against the browser on which the tests were taken.
Firefox, Chrome and Safari users achieved a slightly higher than average result of over 100. It is pleasantly surprising to know that the smartest lot (over 120) were those who surfed with the old-school Opera and unknown Camino browsers.
Since the report was published, Internet Explorer fans have made no secret of their anger at it. Some have even threatened to pursue legal action.
Within the group of Internet Explorer users, those using version six attained the lowest scores while users of version 8 fared better according to BBC News.
Well, this test is somehow true in the sense that IE 6 users are too dumb to upgrade. Or you can say too dumb to switch to using a different browser.
