Correct. Elf’s would be the worst ring carriers because their strong ties to magic. Elrond would have been possessed by the ring the moment he touched it.
This is part of why galandrial was so excited for herself when she resisted.
She was pretty clear on what her having the ring would mean (at least in her mind, but she was generally pretty smart):
…in place of a Dark Lord you would have a Queen! Not dark but beautiful, and terrible as the Morn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth! All shall love me and despair!
I think, if Elrond took it by force, he wouldn’t be able to drop it in either.
