The problem with "common sense" is that it ain't common! 
I believe that it is in part inherent, but also learned. How's that for sitting on the fence? Like Trav mentioned, we don't expect babies to make rational decisions, but by the time a person is an adult we expect that they should be able to think through the consequences for actions. If I do this, that is going to happen.
My husband was a genius, but had absolutely no "common sense." He was scientifically trained, but when it came to everyday kind of stuff never made the connection between his choices and the consequences.
