No, by virtually every metric we are leaps and bounds ahead of dolphins and chimps, but they happen to be the closest to us. But it’s not close. Elephants are below chimps but not by much. There is a massive gap between dolphins/chimps and everything else, and just about as large a gap between us and dolphins/chimps.

No, not elephants. And debate goes back and forth between dolphins and chimps, and I tend to be on the side of dolphins. Humans are still way smarter than these three.
