Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
WATCH: Shredding On The Google Guitar!
Apparently, Mac FireFox users iz smart.
According an online survey/test performed by a group called IQLeague, MacPPC users who browse the interwebs with Firefox are the smartest web users alive.
Alexander Uslontsev says:
"IQLeague guys have some kind of online IQ test on their site and they group IQ scores of all visitors by different geographical locations (city, country, etc.)MacPPC Firefox folks have an average 104.35 IQ, whereas those who use Firefox on Windows 98 have an average IQ of 91.66. Hey, what's wrong with Windows 98? We know plenty of smart people who still rock on the W98. Ok, maybe one. And we swear they're super smart.Here is an interesting part - they also group IQ Scores by referrer website and by client browser and operating system."
What else did IQLeague uncover? Those that use Internet Explorer on Windows NT are smarter than those that use Internet Explorer on Windows XP.
Iz u smart? - Take the test yourself!

The scores are all clustered pretty close together. When considering the margin of error, which wasn't included, I have no doubt these scores are all about the same. But then again I could just be an idiot, firefox on WinXP, user.

Similarly, why include the graph when it has no key, no axis-labels, one set of values, all of the graph is crammed in one end and it is given no context.
Please stop the trigger happy copy and pasting of pretty graphs form other blog's articles with out giving them explanation. Especially if it is an incredibly poor graph.

These numbers aren't significantly above the average IQ and in view of the margin of error (as James mentioned) are meaningless.

Ah, IQ tests. The ultimate ePenis measuring tape!

I think somebody is dumb as a box of rocks.

i love the fact that off all the questions i got ((i dont know if they change)) only 2 were questions in the style of an average IQ test, i had my iq tested twice, once by the SUNY buffalo and the other by the erie community college, the first said 142 the second 138, that iq test said 84. but i guess im the stupid one cause the internet based 10 question one on obscure meanings has to be the right one corret

OSX is UNIX too

yes, OS X users use UNIX, but OS X is more simple than linux/unix. i think they are more talking about the OS, not the kernal...
nice post, but yea the margin of error thing is probably correct

Out of 10 questions, I got 2 about the Berlin wall. Not an IQ test at all, but rather a random general knowledge test.

Mine came out 104.85 and I'm using Vista! Go figure!
Interestingly Vista shows up in that "test" as WinNT!
See I've always known I was smart for not following the crowd and using Vista despite popular opinion of said OS!
....or Something!

Well, I can only come to one conclusion about that site:
The average user of it has a IQ of below 105 :-)

I don't think trivia is an accurate judge of IQ.
