Smarter than a lot of people. Not as smart as a lot of people.
I'd think that "smart" is the ability to learn and to solve problems. After all, that's how the term is used when applied by us to animals outside our species. E.g., goats are pretty smart. Fence them in, and they'll figure out a way to get out. They'll figure out how to unlatch gates, they'll figure out where the fence is weakest, etc.
