a predisposition to do something
Does "He's quite observant and has a predisposition to be a good investigator" sound fine to you? I don't think I'd say that, and I don't think I've heard anyone else use it, but it could be natural.

" The quality of being observant leads to the conclusion that he would be a good investigator, so you need an appropriate transition word, not the coordinating conjunction, which gives both ideas logically equal status.

Gene93Wouldn't "disposition" work as well?Yes, but I didn't think that was your original question. I thought you were asking about the naturalness of the sentence.
