Well to me anyway a simple test of a persons natural ability is maybe if you are playing with a group of musicians maybe playing the one instrument with similar areas of experience and one person gets so far ahead in his ability to learn the song both melody and chords (leaves everyone else standing behind) then I have to acknowledge that person has a more natural gift for music than I will ever have.

Probably applies to most things in life like learning a new language or being good with your hands, like carpentry.
