Yes, just because some animals are solitary and don't relate to group dynamics doesn't make them less intelligent.
Brain size is obviously rubbish. A small woman 5ft tall is going to have a smaller head (i.e.brain) than a big man 6ft 6 tall. But that doesn't mean a small woman is less intelligent than a big man! And yes, like you say, it depends on what we do with our brains!
And by the way...(I think I mentioned this before) My Misty-dog could never pass any "intelligence tests for dogs". She failed miserably on each one. Well....she wasn't miserable and neither was I
Because I knew how intelligent she actually was by the way she lived her life. Oh my she was clever. So it goes to show the methods by which scientists measure animal iintelligence can often be way off the truth.
