The test results turned out to show that IE users, both versions 6, 7, 8 or 9 has a lower IQ scores than the average user other browsers. Funny thing is, users of IE version 9 appeared to have lower IQ scores than users of IE version 8, such as alerts TG Daily, Saturday (07/30/2011).

Users of Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari claimed to have IQ scores higher than average. While users Camino, Opera and IE with Chrome Frame even has a much higher IQ.

The results of this study may be related to the ability of IE less meet current web standards so often face problems when opening a site that actually works fine in other browsers. As a result, only users with lower technical competence, who allegedly also had lower levels of intelligence, who are still willing to be patient using IE.
