These are the two things all great scientists have in abundance. Without it, they will not have thought of and invented/discovered what they did. Isaac Newton's work is a great example of the importance of power of observation. You think he was the first human to see an apple or anything for that matter, fall? But he was the only one to think that something was curious about it and went on to "discover" the universal gravitation.
There are a lot of people still doing research in various fields. But none of them as popular as maybe Newton, Einstein (the guy with the prominent hair) . They invented and discovered a load of things in their lifetimes.
About the common sense part, heard of the theory of relativity? Einstein thought of it. It is said that the theory cannot be understood by everybody. I am not talking about the compex mathematical statements, I am talking about the statement of the theory, the definition if you like.
Its totally common sense. So, admit it, some guys have a higher IQ/ common sense than others.
