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.)

because they're still trying to find the power switch on their keyboards.

I wouldn't put much stock in it...

Not to be a snob, but my IQ according to at least 3 professionally administered IQ tests when I was in elementary and secondary school is at least 150, and they scored me at 112. SAT and GRE scores are similarly high. This might have had something to do with lag and the slashdot effect, but I still wouldn't put too much credence on this test.

(Why the schools kept giving me IQ tests is a sad, complicated story, but suffice it to say that I was NOT an over-achiever. One of my proudest achievements is being both a national merit semi-finalist and a high-school dropout.)
