The Smartest Browser and OS

The IQ League maintain a "60 Second IQ Test" online. Interestingly, they correlate the results of this test with a number of statistics available from their server logs. Along with the geographical distinctions like city and country, the referrer and OS/Browser user-agent strings are also mined, to determine the Smartest Browser and OS. Cutting to the chase, the very smartest is Firefox on Unknown (which internal evidence suggests is MacOS-Intel), and the dumbest, as of this writing, is IE on WinNT. Quick! Test out and move the bars on the pretty graph! Can we make Slashdot.org the "Smartest Website in the World?" (It's currently number 2 behind ScienceBlogs.com.)

Re:IQ Test?

[TubeSteak]

Yeah, some of the questions I received were about the Beatles and Russian History. Those seem like historical knowledge tests, not intelligence quotient... Your intelligence is partly measured by your ability in analytical skills and partly measured by your knowledge of 'stuff'.

There are mathematicians at the top of their field who couldn't write a book.
There are writers at the top of their field who couldn't balance a checkbook.
All of those people are geniuses, just not on the same IQ scale.

There are different kinds of intelligence, but the generic IQ test can't focus on one type to the exclusion of others.

I got stuck on the first question.

It said "Who is Winnie the Pooh's depressive donkey friend?" and I spent too long looking for the "How the fuck does knowing something about British children's fiction later bastardised by Disney tell you anything about my intelligence?" option.

Sorry everyone, I should have known better than to try and answer a question with a question.

So you're saying you're too smart for IQ tests. Hmm. I'll make a note under people skills. Then again, given your score why bother. Next!
