Intelligence
Chimpanzee IQ is tricky to pin down because IQ tests are designed for humans, but we can estimate their intelligence with the Encephalization Quotient (EQ).

While it’s fun to speculate, it’s important to remember that chimps don’t think like us—they don’t ask questions or reason abstractly.
