When I was on the PM hiring committee at Google, I was looking for the "two unteachable skills" in candidates:
1) That the candidate saw that the world was not black and white and one dimensional, but shades of gray and multi dimensional, and surprising information that didn't fit into their current world model implied a dimension they were previously blind to.
2) That when they encountered disconfirming information, instead of leaning back and saying with disappointment "Oh. That's interesting..." they leaned in and said with excitement "Oh! That's interesting..."
The combination of these two skills allows someone to bootstrap their ability, without ceiling, in ambiguous situations.
You can think of it as "they can sense disconfirming evidence in their blindspot, and disconfirming information energizes them."
