Internet Explorer users have lower IQ says study

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.

I always guessed that most people who pay for sites also use IE, mainly as they are less likely to know their way around the net

Damn, that is brutal.

Nicky 08-02-2011 04:01 PM

There are people I know who would be using IE, but for me installing Firefox for them. Perhaps knowing me has increased their IQ. :upsidedow

Probably it's good for a webmaster to be using it, in fact I haven't checked my sites in IE for a while now

proton 08-02-2011 04:21 PM

I love how some sites 'require' IE, always annoying as hell.

OMFG YES you are totally right: I always guessed that most people who pay for sites also use IE, mainly as they are less likely to know their way around the net.

This is so me.

While there is a difference between:-

"most people who use IE join paysites" and "most people who join paysites use IE"

I tend to agree, same with people that use AOL and people that sign up to all the pre-installed shit on a computer when you buy it like Norton.

I used to be an IT guy, once I went around to fix some guy's PC, he was the type like you describe, in his mid-50's, signed up to Norton and everything, (still had viruses everywhere). I gave him AdAware, told him it was free, next thing while I'm not there he finds a way to pay for it. Anyway, he starts telling me about how to make money online, he's been to all these "Get Rich Quick" sites on the web that show Cruise Ships, Sports Cars and Mansions. Turns out he paid $15,000 on one of them for a bunch of "Get Rich Quick" videos, after watching them he worked out it was a complete waste of his time as they only contained information that was already available for free. He emailed asking for a refund, but they just ignored him. He now accepts it as money lost.

IE9 is not that bad, currently there is no perfect browser, I moved to Chrome after FF pissed me, but Chrome is also buggy, especially password storing does not work good for me

The thing that stood out as being odd was how low they said the IE IQ was, I figured it was a mistake.

Take a look at a new thread you started, posting information about this thread, that I had already posted in this thread?

Um, I think I'll pass, thanks though.

Are you an IE user?

Chosen 08-04-2011 07:36 AM

Haha, I'm using Opera :pimp

bronco67 08-04-2011 07:41 AM

This study only confirms what I've known all along. I've actually stopped asking dummies "why the fuck are you using IE?"

JamesGw 08-04-2011 07:42 AM

I read somewhere that Mac users have a lower IQ too. It appeared to be from a legitimate survey, but you never know with those things.
