    I wonder where that places users of multiple browsers. I have Opera, Chrome, Firefox and IE installed in my various machines with Opera and Firefox seeing the highest usage. My latest favorites are Opera Next 12 Pre-Alpha and the 64-bit nightly build of Firefox 8.

    You add them up!

    So, Opera + IE = 230-IQ

    Hell Yeah! :)

    Great. I feel smarter already using Firefox, but I guess I should switch to Opera just in case... The fact is there are so many reasons why people choose a particular browser and is mostly shallow reasons, that I believe it has nothing to do with intelligence, but with personal preferences, as in terms of performances, options they`re not too far apart.

    Pity this generation lacks the intellect to provide links which (probably don't) support their dumba$s statements.

    I'm sure our libtard moronic government funded this waste of a study with our tax dollars.

    If by "our" , you mean the U.S., then It would seem strange that the U.S. Government would commission a study to be conducted by a Canadian company.
    With a name like psychometrics, I'm pretty sure that every other U.S.daytime talkshow would qualify for the funding.

    Shows on Fox News sure comes to mind as one of prime candidates, especially since congress is now controlled by republicans + extreme right wingers.

    I'm still on the page where this is just another Bull s*** IQ test phishing expedition. How much did I miss?

    The interesting thing is that the people who took this test were people who searched the web for IQ tests. It may not be possible to deduce a lot from this to the population in general. Still it's interesting that a lot of people with well below average IQ (according to the test) are searching for IQ tests.

    I think you may be confusing psychometrics with psychopathics
    I think you're fully up to speed.

    Google? or Apple? I am just speculating here ...... :D

    I think it would be nice if TS report the story linked by Mark, just to clear things up.
