Hmm. I consider that "innate talent" rather than just "talent". There certainly is some predisposition to picking up a topic (e.g., "she has a knack for it") which can be seen with mathematical, artistic, and musical prodigies, but I think that "talent" is more of a "how good is someone at picking up something new in a field" kind of thing; nothing genetic. Maybe this is an American vs. European thing (I'm American)?
