In Japan this is definitely true. It's what most people think, as dictated by what is common sense.
All the while, the mother with the tensai (genius) child will have instilled good studying habits, focus, prep, etc, and still believe her child is just smart for having good grades.
So Koichi's paragraph is not false. Or rather, there is truth there. If you wish to highlight the falseness then that is possible too, but taking an entire paragraph and trying to equate it as true or false is not that simple.

Yes, Japanese people may think that and yes, non-cognitive skill includes persistence, etc. >, but taking an entire paragraph When I'm saying "paragraph" may be false, I'm talking about sentences #2 and #3 and not #1 and #4.
