An innate ability is

A characteristic/ability of a person which can be accessed by the person and/or therapist when required.

An innate ability is something which is measurable. Therefore, entities such as ego strength or willpower are not defined as innate abilities in this model.

An innate ability is something the person is aware of or can be made aware of.

This `awareness’ may be affective, sensory, motor or cognitive responses. If the person cannot be made aware of these characteristics/responses occurring, then it cannot be deemed as an innate ability.

An innate ability is something which can be repeatedly attained and has parameters which can qualitatively and quantitatively describe it. An innate ability is something the person has within themselves, it is not external.
