The fact that so few traders are successful is pretty much all the evidence you need for considering it a specific talent

Something in this makes me feel like I disagree... but I can't word it yet... I will try though, topic seems to be very interesting :)

One objection comes to mind right away: when one with specific talent enters the field requiring this talent it's noticeable at once. Naturally gifted chess player for instance... even before he gets specific training you can always tell gifted kid from the rest (I intentionally avoid examples with arts like painting or music since you pointed out the difference between creative and interpretive talents). In trading this doesn't seem to be the case, we all start lousy, with exceptions so rare that they just confirm the rule :)
