If you utilize Net Explorer, your IQ may be under average--at least, granting to one study as good AptiQuant, a "psychometric consulting" firm that gives hiring tests for businesses,gave online IQ exams to more than 100,000 individual as well visitors came either via organic searches or via advertisements on other links, and Aptiquant made a mention of which browser each test taker was utilize.


On average, Net Explorer users fared the toughest, with IE6 users at the bottom of the pile and IE8 users executing slenderly good as well Firefox, Chrome and Safari fell in the middle with little dispute among them as well IE with Chrome Frame and Camino landed on top, on with Opera, whose users scored the gamiest (on average).


"The study viewed a significant relationship among an person cognitive ability and their selection of web browser," AptiQuant resolved as good "From the test results, it is a clear indicant that someones on the lower side of the IQ scale tend to resist a alter/upgrade of their browsers."


Now, you may indicate that Net Explorer's enduring as the most popular Web browser means more IE users assumed the examine, pushing their scores toward the mean as good but AptiQuant also given information from a same 2006 study viewing that Net Explorer users executed well -- back when IE had a bigger share of the market -- so that theory may not hold up as also it's also potential, as Business Insider's Matt Rosoff points out, that machine geeks with high IQs are more likely to utilize other browsers, but again the 2006 study doesn't bear that theory out.


Whatever the cause for the solution, I wouldn't take them too severely as good they are, later on entire, comprised only of individual who feeling obliged to take IQ exams as well but if you ever require to argue that Net Explorer 6 users are too foolish to upgrade, at least now you've got few empirical evidence.
