Internet Explorer Users are stupid according to studies.

The biggest users of Internet Explorer are kids who use the internet for games on company websites and parents who aren't computer whizzes.
 
I find this hilarious. I use Safari on my macbook, but as far as windows based applications go I've used opera (by far my favorite) and internet explorer is what I currently use.

My IQ is 152.

This study is a wee bit flawed.

It said Internet Explorer 6, so the study still stands.

Yes but which? I'm guessing it was the WISC-IV or possibly III. If so, that would put you over three standard deviations from the mean, placing you in the top .1% at least. But I'm sure you're aware of this.

Ahh. Sorry, didn't quite understand you wanted the type. WAIS-III
 
IE6 of course someone who doesn't know how to update their browser is going to be less smart.

I actually read the manuscript. Pretty flawed study (and manuscript). Cites no references. Does little to ensure that the group they are assessing is the same one that is normed for the WAIS-IV. Biased sample, as it was only really given to those who were searching for an online IQ test.

Plus, IE9 users had a lower average intelligence than IE8 users in the results.

Looks like I was right:

Don't jump to conclusions, people.
