Summary
Is it possible to be creatively successful in many domains? In this chapter, we explore this question and discuss potential mechanisms of cross-domain creativity (CDC). To this end, we start with defining CDC, present its hypothetical trajectories in development, and explore the role of domain-general creative potential for CDC. We pay special attention to a creative self-concept as an important factor shaping creative activity and creative achievement in various domains. A small simulation study that estimates the number of polymaths in the world today concludes this chapter.
