AptiQuant Bombarded With Hate Mail From Loyal Internet Explorer UsersVancouver, British Columbia, Jul 29, 2011 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- AptiQuant, the company that released the report titled 'Intelligence Quotient (IQ) and Browser Usage' about the relation between an individual's IQ score and their choice of web browser yesterday, is receiving a lot of hate mail from a group of Internet Explorer users. Internet Explorer users were labelled as the ones having the lowest IQ as compared to other browsers mentioned in the report. Leonard Howard, the CEO of the company said that his inbox is overwhelmed with hate filled emails from IE users. He said, "I just want to make it clear that the report released by my company did not suggest that if you use IE that means you have a low IQ, but what it really says is that if you have a low IQ then there are high chances that you use Internet Explorer." He further went on to say that the company has all the scientific data and logs to back their claims. The company spokesman said that they are really surprised by the unexpected attention that their study got. He said that the company first thought of doing this study when they were trying to add some new features to the website and found IE versions 6.0 and 7.0 extremely difficult to work with. AptiQuant is a Vancouver, Canada based company that provides tools to corporates to help them measure the mental ability of existing or potential employees. In a report released yesterday, they had claimed that a study done by the company suggested that IE users have the lowest IQ as compared to other browsers.
