Safari, Windows 95 Firefox users have high IQs

homerSafari.jpgI took an IQ test once. I got over 100-which, if you’re unfamiliar with grading systems, is a perfect score with extra credit.

The fact that I’m a genius is no surprise to my friends and loyal readers, who often end sentences directed at me with “genius,” “Einstein,” and “smart ass,” and explains why I was put into the special ed classes in middle school and high school-regular ed classes just weren’t good enough for me.

My geniusness has been further vindicated by the “Smartest Browser and OS” list at IQ League, which ranks by average IQ the users of various browsers. Safari on UNIX ranks the highest, with a score of 103.54, followed by Firefox on Windows 95 (??) with a 103.13, and Firefox on PPC Macs with a 102.34.

Users take the IQ League IQ test, and are able to join the group that matches their OS/browser-the score is then added to the group’s average.

I don’t know what, exactly, “Safari on UNIX” means-since there’s a separate PPC Mac group, I’m guessing it means Safari on Intel Macs-but since it’s the highest-ranked I imagine I’m included in that group. And I use Firefox on Windows 95, too…or I would, obviously, if I had Windows 95.

I did the IQ League test and got a 109.33 (111.16 without penalty), and was ranked 12,773 smartest in the world. And really: out of six billion people, that ain’t too shabby.

Take the test, and let us know your browser/OS and what you scored. If you’re a Safari user, you probably already know you’re super smart, but it’s worth taking the test anyway…you know, to vindicate that fact. If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go do cool genius things, once I figure out what they are.

Why don't you try taking the WAIS-III instead of some unknown IQ test on the internet with unknown establish norms.

The average human has an IQ of 100, someone with over 130 is considered highly gifted and geniuses like Einstein are in the 150+ range.

Of course this is based on standardized tests done in a proper testing environment.
