What is talent? why is it so important?

Jonathan Briggs from the Creative Destruction Lab in Toronto says that talent can be described as the sum of:

Curiosity

Initiative

Skepticism

Courage to challenge (comfort with uncertainty)

Enthusiasm 

and Optimism 

With a careful balance between confidence and learning.

We think this a very sensible definition. Do you agree?
