IQ-the index of people using IE lower than users of other browsers
Be honest, have You ever thought that you need to be a complete idiot to use Internet Explorer when there is in many respects superior to it Safari, Chrome or Firefox? If before this idea could be considered unfounded or an exaggeration, but now there is empirical evidence for this proposition.
According to recent studies conducted by Vancouver consulting firm Aptiquant, IQ-the value of people using IE lower than the user's browser competitors. The company conducted an experiment during which offered to take online IQ tests. The proposal used more than 100 thousand people. Then a report was issued that it turned out the average score of the IQ of users for each browser.
What are the results? Just glancing at the table, you can clear that Internet Explorer users have below average IQ level. Users of Chrome, Firefox and Safari figure was slightly higher, but from users of Camino, Opera and IE with Chrome Frame had exceptionally high IQ.
For example, the data of such studies seem to be very controversial, that is true, but Aptiquant appeared a powerful tool that allows you to hit the reputation of the popular browser.
Overall, not too surprisingly, users with high levels of intelligence usually prefer a more docile and less popular browser. Anyway, if next time You say that someone who uses Internet Explorer, a complete idiot, You're actually right.

First of all, high IQ doesn't necessarily mean you are intelligent being. You are just a good pattern solver and logical thinker and you can actually improve your score with practice or with kind of work you are doing (programming, math, physics, etc). Intelligence is much more than having a high IQ score.
Second: browser usage is a preference thing. There was a time when IE was dominant browser, and like Chrome nowdays, IE had popularity vote back then. With Edge we actually have a decent browser, but it still lacks some things. I personally hate Google Chrome. It's probably the fastest browser of them all, but that comes with a price. It's consuming way too much proc. power and ram as it should. And I see some privacy issues with usage also. My weapon of choice nowadays would be Opera. I prefer minimalistic design, well balanced speed and performance. It's still based on Chromium though, but that is not a bad thing. Opera is not perfect either. I use most of these browsers on daily basis, because of nature of my job.
There are people who are really smart that I know (with their pHd-s and stuff), who still use IE nowdays. People prefer Chrome because it's simple, it's faster, but does that make them smarter? Do they really do their research before choosing browser? They probably just go with the mainstream flow like everybody else.
