Internet Explorer Users Have Low Risk Intelligence

Posted by Unknown on from the lemmings-browsing-the-web dept.

First time accepted submitter benne2011 writes "A hoax report earlier this year claimed that people who used Internet Explorer had a lower IQ than those using other browsers. Inspired by this bit of fun, Projection Point decided to carry out a real study comparing the risk intelligence (RQ) of people using different browsers. We found that Internet Explorer users performed worse than everyone else; they had lower RQ scores and were grossly overconfident."

    So first we called them stupid, and now they are grossly overconfident according to another study.

    I predict the next study will show that their mothers are fatter than average, and ugly.

      Lets go a step further. Droid users would rather vote for Ron Paul where as Apple users would re-elect Barack Obama. If you're going to throw gasoline onto the fire, at least learn to do it right.

      Don't worry. Most will have to ask someone what "grossly overconfident" means so few will feel the sting.

      You sound pretty sure about that...

    Yes, why do we care if they're good at Monopoly when that has completely different rules than the Risk?
