You've got cause and effect backwards. People that pick these languages up don't start off as "true programmers", they become "true programmers" because they pick up languages like this.

It's actually a slight feedback loop, though I agree it's probably biased toward the end of people who learn more becoming better. With the existence of FizzBuzz and similar results along with the existence of people who literally have no problem with Haskell, it's safe to say there are some genetic variables involved with programming and math and so on.
