The mirror test--are we smart enough to test animal intelligence
#2
Honestly, I wonder about these intelligence tests.
I once did an IQ test online, and I scored "low average."
I tested Misty with some intelligence test for dogs and she failed miserably.
We both had a good laugh at those things Smiley4 

The mirror test isn't necessarily a good test....as you say, when Elephants were tested they scored badly....until someone found a great big mirror! Duhhh....the testers hadn't thought of that. It says a lot for THEIR intelligence! 79

Misty didn't like the first view she had of herself in a mirror. She growled at it, and of course, checked out the back of the mirror. After that, she refused to be even the slightest bit interested in her reflection....even though she was pretty!

Sally doesn't show any response whatsoever.
