If you include those possessing genius in field other than science, you might conclude that Shaekspeares abilities probably didn't come form the same genes as Newton's or Charlie Parker's.

I don't have a natural talent for math but my language and other skills compensate for that so that I did fine in university level math.

Some people can memorize a whole page of text in a second. Some people have perfect pitch, Others can win spelling bees and other can find their car keys.
