I think it's pretty strange that anyone would believe a browser choice has something to do with intelligence. It's a little disconcerting that people are so insecure that they need to have browser preferences validated by IQ tests. Oh, I now feel better because people who use the same browser as I do have a tendency to have a higher IQ and those that don't use my browser are dumber. I'm safe for now! I think the hoax demonstrated something much more troubling in the IT community.

The users of some of the other less successful Web browsers like to spend more time saying how bad Internet Explorer is rather than report the bugs with their own browser.
