Emotion Intelligence and Instict ratios, could they mean anything?

[Dr. Dalek]

I wasn't sure if this should be under biology or psycology so I guessed. Anyway I recently made a comment in a thred about the intelligence of non-human animals:

My question would less oriented towards how intelligent the animal is and more towards the ratio of influence that intelligence has on its observed behavior compaired to instinct and emotion.

So the more I think about it the more I think there is something to this. How much could we learn about animal psycology by trying to guage and graph the ratio of the drivers on an animals behavior including instinct, intelligence, and emotion. What if anything could this teach us?
