A way to check if someone has indeed a controlled jerk is by using the "ball and dummy" drill.
I've seen it many times and in every case its a seasoned shooter.

Prior to actual tactical pistol training by professionals I was one of those "controlled jerkers" on a static paper target at 25 meters. My group was tight, but it was alway's high and left of the center of the B-27 target.
Certain professionals showed my the "thumbs forward" grip. This helped in of itself because it tends to allow the shooter, at least me, to have an index finger and a thumb directly on plane with the target. Next was proper follow through on the trigger and two sight's for every shot taken. The ball and dummy drill cured this.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
