If someone was really serious about measuring some of the correlates of self-reported "test-taking ability," I would certainly argue for including a measure of general intelligence.  (A brief measure such as the Wonderlic or Otis Quick-Scoring might be adequate.)  In this age when everyone is "above average," I suspect that some are actually below average in important cognitive abilities, and they are quick to demonstrate the fundamental attribution error.
