If you conjure an elemental does it get a full set of talents and/or spells appropriate to its IQ or is it just a "smart animal" (or newborn)?

If zombies don't have IQ, do they suffer penalties for using weapons without talents? Do they have their master's talent? Does the latter mean a wizard who doesn't know (say) Sword and Shield but wants to arm them will have a lot of useless zombies who can't hit anything with melee weapons?

Should dragons and other intelligent nonhumanoids have talents and/or spells?
