    Chrome is really quick, but i usually stick to IE. I was raised using it, so i'll always stick with it, even if the competition is better.

    Let's debunk the study. Do you know your IQ?

    Nope. Should be okay though. Not Dim, Not a genius, somewhere in the middle.

    Woohoo we debunked the study because it said that IE users typically had an IQ of around 80

    I'd assume internet users would have had a higher iq. We always learn new info on the net, so we become smarter. I did an iq test a few years ago, and i scored 93. I was a bit dim back then. Since i've stopped drinking, and started reading and studying law, my IQ has shot up.

    P.S. Can you change your username. I can't stop humming the jetsons theme tune.

    I think it's more about the browser than general internet but I still prefer to get my knowledge from books because I find you recall it better than knowledge gained from the Internet.

    Sorry I can't change it for another month.

    Reading books does not a genius make.

    Basically, people who are PC savvy aren't using IE any more, so i can believe the study would or should have some validity. The low 80's sounds very low though ...

    I.Q doesn't change or get better <ok>
    The World's highest (recorded) I.Q was 210 - I think it was a Asian Engineer.

    I've done a few I.Q test, mines is apparently between 120 and 130.

    IQ tests have been completely discredited as a way of measuring intelligence.

    That article you posted doesn't conclude that i.q test have been shown to be wrong as indicators of intelligence.

    We had a guy at our training college, his nickname was `90' because of his i.q test result. We had another guy who had an i.q of 150, he was as sharp as a tack and a bloody genius.

    I reckon it's a very good indicator of intelligence. <ok>

    90 was the lowest i.q test result recorded in our class. <laugh>

    This guy was a drug-dealing total ****wit, he shat in a bag and put it in a guys coat pocket. <laugh>

    You are supposed to do it yourself - not get a parent to do it for you.

    There's no point in IQ tests, you can train to do them.

    Intelligence is far too complex to evaluate with a series of questions <ok>
