UPDATE:<\/strong> It’s all a bizarre hoax<\/a>. Techcitement is keeping this story up to show we can fall victims to this weird prank just as well as Gawker<\/a>, CNN<\/a>, and the BBC (who have removed the article from their site). Plus, Jon still thinks IE users are dumb and we think the image of the browser kids is too cute not to use.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n AptiQuant, a psychometric consulting company located in Vancouver, has recently reported something that everyone already knew: IE users have a lower average IQ than other browser users<\/a>.<\/p>\n The study provided free IQ tests to over 100,000 people and then charted the average IQ score against which browser the test was taken with. At the top of the IQ mountain were users of Camino, Opera, and IE with Chrome Frame. The second tier consisted of Chrome, Firefox, and Safari users. And Internet Explorer users came in at dead last, the mentally slowest (on average) of all participants.<\/p>\n
