I think it's one of those skills that rarely taught, so most of the people who do it are the ones who figure it out on their own.

Only taught by the best of mentors. I has to figure it out myself but not sure when. Came relatively naturally. Correlates with coders IMHO.

Some of it I was probably explicitly taught, but if so I don't remember what!

I was never taught how to learn. Was a huge shock that British children were since I was only taught rote learning at school.

Uni was extremely tough at the start.
