Last time i took an IQ test, I tested at 127. 3 points aways from genius. Guess what browser i use? OPERA! Woo, go OPERA, Microsoft windows Internet Explorer 8 and 9 both stink, Slow and can get many and many of malicious scripts. I just don't like Microsoft, I would rather have Ubuntu or some sort of Linux command line, but my computer is to slow to run. All well. If you haven't notice yet, i'm very bored. Till next time, y'all enjoy!

btw, apparently you guys think Internet IQ Tests count, they don't there just random number generators. my score was taken professionally, because of my behavior

Well aren't you just specially dandy? I can see all those points adding up rather nicely there, you're doing some real good with that, I'm glad for you... </sarcasm>

Anyway, (sadly) he's correct. I couldn't trust any "test" on the internet, especially dealing with something as subjective as IQ. And I don't know about the reliability of this firm; I doubt it is.

I've used all the major browsers: Opera, Firefox, Chrome, IE, Maxthon, Safari, and some I don't even remember names to. IE is required for most of the sites built by the vendors my company uses, so I use it steadily throughout the day. But Chrome and Firefox stay open at all times; Chrome is my research browser - it's quicker in my experience and is perfect when combined with AdBlock Plus and BetterPopUpBlocker - and Firefox is my recreational browser - also with BPUB and ABP, but adding Stumbleupon, and it works well to that end because of its overall better compatibility with different sites (again, in my experience). Maxthon, Opera, and Safari aren't all bad, but I never could have a stream-lined positive session on them; though it has been quite a while since I've tried these three.

It's also unfair to assume lesser intelligence of an IE user as the majority of them that I know are like my mother/co-workers; not dumb by any means, just out of their element and a number of years late. Not stupid, just knowledgeable about older technologies.

*Oh, and now that I stop and notice, that's a pretty bad/blunt headline isn't it? Maybe mention it's a study, something

@KillerBug, Smart people don't use IE for browsing? Sounds like you're buying into the garbage of this study. You know what they say, 76% of statistics are completely made up. Like that one....uh oh? Maybe due to the fact that I'm typing this using IE9 I'm too stupid to come up with an under-the-table paid, Opera, Mozilla, and Google-sponsored study that takes only a small slice of the world's internet-browsing population to make a conclusion on the intelligence of people who use Hotpoint toasters vs Black and Decker?

It's the same deal...Firefox boys vs, Chrome boys...Chrysler guys, vs. Chevy Guys. Mac Guys vs. PC Guys.....

Anywho, I'm done with fanboyz. Why don't you people just go and have a cardboard tube duel somewhere until the last man standing's favorite browser is reigned king. :)

One problem raised with many of the tests for testing IQ's is they are geared towards people who have obtained college degrees and the information you learn there in... Meaning it is very hard to develop a test that can actually test everyone of IQ. In contrast take your har4rd or y4le graduate that has never touched a screwdriver, assume for example car maintenance to them has only benn to follow the instructional section in their car manual, now give them an IQ test geared toward what a mechanic would only know. Thus we can all surely see where the fault of a generic IQ's test is.

Additionally IQ is not really a true indicator of much except it might show how well someone can memorize an regurgitate some information. Some of the IQ test questions i've seen make me wonder what they are really testing.... This shape is to this shape as this number is to this letter... HUH? Really how does that test someone IQ. I can see they are trying to see if you might get the association from one thing to another. And some of they "This is like this as ? is to ?" use words they might not be common in today's vocabulary... Anyone here know what peck measure is without looking it up?

Furthermore, i would argue we all have specific gifts,insights and skills we all come to the table with. Depending on one skill or another, one might be more useful, but the way i see it all are needed. Someone might be a great programmer, and another a great cook... I wouldn't want a programmer now matter how much spaghetti code they write fixing and cooking my meals, nor the cook baking up a computer program/solution that is half baked :) Both have their place, the developer might be more important or valued in some ways and the cook in others. Bottom line we all have value, i could find cooks making 10x the salary of some programmers and visa versa...
