See, I'm not sure I trust any ways of proving intelligence if it ends up with such a perfect scale.

It's suggesting people with higher IQ use the other web browsers, not that the browsers give you a higher IQ. _________________ |

Yes too good to be true, I use Opera and I consider myself of relatively average intelligence. In my opinion ofc internet explorer users may be more likely to be under the average simply due to the fact that it is the default browser. So the few people would bring down the average because the less tech savy I guess the lower the IQ (just a theory). Plus Opera was the most obscure of those listed. So would people using even further niche browsers be more intelligent according to the study? Seamonkey for instance. _________________    |

Ha, what s***.
This concept more or less takes into account how computer savvy you are, not your intelligence level. Older people are not as well versed with technology as it moves forward and most likely don't use the computer enough to give a s***. That and people who sit around believing they're superior because they use a certain browser obviously spend too much time on the computer as they took the time to decide what is the "ultimate" browser instead of spending their time accomplishing something. Written by loser nerds (who might just be gay hipsters) to make other loser nerds (who probably are gay hipsters too) feel special. Also, is this really news? If this forum were a newspaper it would be on the same level as a tabloid journal that I wouldn't even use to wipe my a**. if you're reading this post in rp |
