title: Is One Dimension Enough? A Response to Simonton's Varieties of (Scientific) Creativity (2009).
abstract: We admire Simonton's valiant attempt to bring all of creativity under a single dimension. We offer a view that is sometimes complementary and sometimes distinct from Simonton's model: Our own multidimensional amusement park theoretical model, which tries to integrate domain-specific and domain-general points of view. We eagerly await future research on Simonton's model and are curious of how his hard-soft dimension can be included into the creativity pantheon.
