A cold frothy adult beverage, now we are talking!
All my trainer would need to do, is fetch it for me.

Intelligence is a term that I personally never use when talking about dogs.
But if I had to make a determination as to what breed is the most intelligent. . .I'd have to say the toy poodle.
Doesn't have to work, doesn't have to do much of anything but sit around and take up furnature space. . .and they are always the most spoiled little shiznits on the face of the earth. They have to know something that all these working dogs don't.
I have good nerves, average intelligence, and high levels of aggression. . .tend to be a little rank. . . and I litter the floor with more than just my socks. (wife will attest to that)
But I have an intense brew drive. . .microbrews will get you anything.
Anybody know if there is a standardized dog intelligence test?
What criteria do they use?
People, with their blunted instincts are certainly smarter in some areas than others. I would imagine that dogs, given their breeding and instincts would differ greatly in intelligence levels depending on the test and the way the test is given.

That's a good point. The issue is not intelligence. All intelligence tests are flawed. They measure certain attributes that the test designer decides equals intelligence. I'm a psychologist this is kinda my field.
What's more important is what you are genetically predisposed to be good at and if your trainer can find something that motivates you.
You cannor take or demand control over others. All animals (people too) give away power to those who have something they want.
Most of the tests I have seen or read about are based on how many time a command is repeated before the dog replys. All they tell me is that some dogs are more willing than others. This can vary considerably within any given breed. The one that ranks the GSD third is only 2 places off from being accurate <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> .
