Polymaths and self-education
See also: Autodidacticism
Autodidacticism (Self-education) is the practice of education and/or learning skills without the guidance of schools/schoolmasters (i.e., teachers, professors, institutions, mentors). A person who is self-taught is an autodidact.
Frequently people who are polymaths are also autodidacts, and vice versa.[1]
