A one would make them about as intelligent as a bat or a rat.
While charging a hungry T-Rex might not qualify them for membership in
Mensa (:-)), the impression I got was they they were supposed to be very
intelligent.
The gamekeeper (loved that character-too bad he was killed)
mentioned that they had been systematically testing their enclosure
"remembering" and, I believe, learning. Also said explicitly that he though
that they were very intelligent.
