Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to review the literature in regard to the theoretical status and predictive validity of the creative potential, towards creative achievements. We discuss the results of classic and modern studies which allow us to conclude which components of creative potential are crucial for understanding of the effectiveness and success in various domains of creativity. Particular attention is paid to the construct of creative self-efficacy, which we consider to be important, and so far underestimated element of creative potential, as well as creative personal identity: treated as a moderator of the relationship between potential and achievement.
