I was amused when I read that the article we published yesterday about Internet Explorer users having a lower average IQ than users of other browsers was a hoax. Not because I dislike IE users, but because this would have been the push they needed to, explore other browsers. Unfortunately though, sometimes global news agencies do get it wrong.
A study, and a fairly quantitative one, is suggesting that the dinner conversation talk I think some of us may have had about the average Internet Explorer user may be true. AptiQuant offered free online IQ tests to over 100 000 people and then plotted the average IQ scores based on the browser on which the test was taken.
