There isn't a shortage of choices when it comes to web browsers -- options such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Camino and Opera are just a click away. But a new report suggests that a web user's IQ score may be lower than average if their go-to option is Internet Explorer. According to AptiQuant, a Vancouver-based online psychometric testing company, Internet surfers using any version of Internet Explorer rank significantly lower in terms of their intelligence quotient."The study showed a substantial relationship between an individual's cognitive ability and their choice of web browser," said the study published on Tuesday.
IQ scores

• IE 6.0, 7.0 users = low 80s 
• IE 8.0, 9.0 users = between 80 and 100 
• Firefox, Chrome, Safari = 100 to 120 
• IE with Chrome Frame, Camino, Opera = over 120
