Nice point. I wanted to note that the converse is also true and seems like an example of Berkson’s Paradox. If you only see individuals who passed the test, it will look like teachability is anti-correlated with the other two factors even though this may purely be a result of the selection process.
This may seem pedantic but the point I’m making is that it’s equally important not to update in the other direction and assume less alignment between past experience and current skillset is better, since it may not be once you correct for this effect.
