Wayne Gretsky might be a crerative thinker when it comes to hockey and reading the relationship between players on the ice, but he might not be as creative when it comes to composing short stories. Albert Einstein might have been a great creative thinker when it came to mathematics, but he might not have been as creative as an athlete. you might be very creative in one area of your life and less so in another.
