Not much, I'd guess - but then I would say that, because I'm a cat person!

According to Stanley Coren, author of The Intelligence of Dogs, there are three main aspects to canine intelligence: adaptive intelligence (problem solving, learning), insinctive intelligence (specific to the individual dog) and working/obedience intelligence (which varies according to breed).

By measuring the level of each aspect and combining the figures, Coren has been able to create a list of dog breeds arranged according to how intelligent his tests showed them to be. Chihuahuas are numbered 67th.

Petrix.com (http://petrix.com/dogint/1-10.html) has a list of 79 breeds which also lists the chihuahua in 67th place - I suspect their list is taken from Coren's book.

Incidentally, border collies are thought to be the most intelligent dogs, followed by poodles and German shepherds. The list shows that, on the whole, dogs that were bred to work are more intelligent than others (the collie herds sheep, poodles were hunting dogs, German shepherds have performed a multitude of tasks), which helps explain the chihuahua's low ranking - chihuahuas, unfortunate things, were originally bred by the Aztecs for food!

THE ANSWER BELOW IS WRONG. If you are asking about Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences there are 9 in his theory. One is linguistic intelligence out of the 9. I am not sure what you mean about "paper and pencil." There is no intelligence in that category and paper and pencil are tools for use in many formats.
