Internet Explorer users have a lower than average IQ, according to research by Consulting firm AptiQuant.

The study gave web surfers an IQ test, then plotted their scores against the browser they used.

IE surfers were found to have an average IQ lower than people using Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Users of Camino and Opera rated highest.

The report has sparked anger from IE supporters, who have threatened AptiQuant with legal action.

Getting angry and firing off a lawsuit just because of such a test would only give more credibility to his research, that they must indeed have a low IQ.

In anycase since we're at IE10 now, you'd really be pretty dumb to still be using IE6
