I think it is largely a difference in attitude rather than innate talent. Do you love novelty for novelty's sake, or are you intolerant of novelty? Are you willing to try a hundred wrong attempts without being discouraged, until you finally find something that works, or are you unable to stand being wrong even once?

Affinity for novelty, and tolerance of repeated failure, together with a minimum of required competence in your chosen field, are what you need to come up with original solutions.
