"They've got IE6 users with an IQ of around eighty. That's borderline deficient, marginally able to cope with the adult world.
I haven't used IE in so long I can't remember.
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.
The findings have been treated with scepticism by Professor David Spiegelhalter of Cambridge University's Statistical Laboratory: "They've got IE6 users with an IQ of around eighty. That's borderline deficient, marginally able to cope with the adult world.
"I believe these figures are implausibly low - and an insult to IE users."
However, Mr Howard said he didn't feel threatened by a lawsuit: "A win in a court would only give a stamp of approval and more credibility to our report."

Most of my browsing is done with IE. It's the only browser on my office computer, that's where I spend the most time on a computer. They didn't test me though. Punks.

I seriously hope you guys don't do this.

same here.

IE sucks.
The first Internet browser I used by choice was called "I Browse." Anyone here familiar with it?
What were the age groups of the users?
It's because low IQ people do not stay on PCs for long and don't care which browser they are using. Their computer came with IE, they use it. Some of us explore options like Firefox, Opera and Chrome. Others go further and do not even use windows, opting instead for Linux boots.
im forced to use IE at my job for some applications that just wont render in firefox..
i'd rather gouge my eyes out..
Internet Explorer is built in on just about every mainstream computer these days. Of course people that dont know computers are going to use it.... its RIGHT THERE!!!
On a different note, for some reason, at my company certain web interfaces only work with IE and others only work with Firefox. Im certain my company isnt the only one that has this issue. Sometimes IE is required. I'm not too impressed with their PhD's and Master degrees either, I swear some of these engineers couldn't figure out that a square block doesn't fit in a round hole sometimes.
Having said that, I'm positive Mouse uses IE with 100's of tabs open for every one of his trolls on Spurstalk... That had to be a contributing factor on the average human IQ level.
(just ing with you Mouse, no need to get all butthurt.... your an idiot.)
Posted using Chrome BTW.

Even if it'S fake, it's true anyway, because:

- or they are backpedaling because of a potential lawsuit

Damn you're cold.It's apparent by Hustle's response that he uses IE.
