Ignoring the fact that Anna was naive about romance and agreed to marry Hans just like that. Is it possible that Anna might actually be smarter than Elsa?
Intelligence wise.

Both have proven to be highly intelligent. Anna has a lack of impulse control can lead her to make bad decisions, while Elsa probably overthinks some things.
Well, yeah, both are intelligent, but the only reason Anna was naive about love was because she was so sheltered from other people, attention and romantic love, she was desperate for it. Like think about it. If your sister suddenly shut you out, you weren't allowed to go interact with other kids, and you spent that time binge watching Disney movies, then, yeah, you'd probably be starving for affection. I think Anna has more skill in the survival area, and Elsa has more skill in the handling legal/government issues. Both most likely had the same training, because should Elsa die, or abdicate the throne, Anna could take her place. Both are strategic, and Elsa's more logical with her decisions, while Anna follows her heart more.

You are absolutely correct, Anna’s and Elsa’s sheltered upbringing has deeply effected their ability to communicate with others. They are both highly intelligent. Elsa was groomed to be Queen from a early age, to the best that she could. This meant hours of lessons on government and diplomatic, probably from her parents but also a tutor. Anna would have received many of the same lessons, but probably not so intense, because she was the “spare”. Being the “spare” isn’t all bad, because this meant that Anna could make her own future, unlike Elsa. Elsa future was laid out for her, it is similar to ever heir. While Anna could follow her heart, and her parents likely encouraged her to do just that. The sisters perfectly complement each other.

I agree. Actually there was a thing called "the heir and the spare" during the 17th (it might even be earlier)-early 20th century. Queens were expected to have as many children as possible because children often died in infancy or childhood. Being the spare might've caused Anna to feel unimportant/have self-esteem issues, but at least she could carve her own path, while Elsa's future was already written for her, and she couldn't do anything about it except for abdicate, get assasinated/murdered or suicide.
I have always thought that Anna is smarter, or certainly more quick-thinking than Elsa who tends to deliberate and mull things over and might 'freeze' in unexpected situations (no pun etc). Elsa is of course more educated and read, notice how well she handles herself in the coronation despite her social limitations because she knows etiquette. Anna, by contrast, is awkward there probably because she napped through all the boring etiquette lessons. That is, until the 'incident'. Alas, there is no formal apology for "my ice powers went crazy and nearly killed you" -situation.
