Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz measure?
It provides an informal snapshot of everyday problem-solving, learning and memory, and social communication. It is not a validated intelligence test, diagnosis, or breed identification tool.
How long does it take and how many items are included?
Estimated completion time is about 10 minutes. The quiz includes 15 behavior ratings.
How should each item be rated?
Rate each behavior based on what is observed most often in typical settings. Use the closest option when behavior varies across situations.
What factors can affect the results?
Age, health, training history, motivation, stress, and prior experience can influence observed behavior. Temporary changes in routine or environment can also affect responses.
How should the results be interpreted?
Use the scores as a reflection tool to identify strengths and areas for practice. Avoid comparing results across breeds or using them as proof of ability.

About This Assessment

How Smart Is My Dog Quiz - Symptoms and Signs

Explore how your dog approaches puzzles, remembers routines, and communicates with people in this free, no-sign-up quiz. Rate 15 everyday behaviors to create a three-part snapshot of problem-solving, learning and memory, and social communication.
