There is a test in the field of animal behavior that measure the intelligence of an animal by testing out its self awareness; You place a miror in front of an animal- if it fights the miror (the naimal thinks its a different animal and defends its territory) or runs away(fear its another animal) then it is unaware of its self and deemed of lower intelligence- examples include a rabbit or beta fish.

If the animal recognizes itself its usually a more intelligent animal- examples include dolphins, chimps, parrots and even certain octopi and cattlefish
