Internet Explorer Users= Lower IQ Individual

Who uses Internet Explorer? Seriously. It slow and annoying and unless you're forced to access the school library in which your only option is to use Internet Explorer, no one really uses it.

There was a study conducted by Vancouver consulting firm AptiQuant that suggested that Internet Explorer users may be the "dumbest on the Internet". The consulting firm gave IQ tests to over 100,000 internet users found randomly through user searches and targeted advertising.  According to the survey, those internet users with the highest IQ were those among who use Opera as their web browser.

To do such a study, I think, is quite entertaining for us readers. What's the purpose of it? I'm not so sure. Perhaps to wake up those people working in Microsoft and tell them that they need to hurry up and catch up or else it will be too late for them to do so. Or perhaps to poke fun at Microsoft about the mere fact that it is falling behind, way way behind Apple Inc.

Here's the chart showing the different IQ scores among the users in 2006 and 2011, who did use different browsers such as FireFox, Opera, etc.
