Abstract
The creativity of individuals is manifested through the products they are able to create, so that the attributes of a product also characterize the individual who created it. Therefore, a way of measuring the creativity of an individual is evaluating and measuring the creative attributes of the products he or she created. This is the basis of the new model we propose to measure creativity. The main elements of the model are the product, its creator and the evaluators that assess it. The products and their creators are characterized by an open set of measurable attributes, identified from the literature. We have also introduced a social way of evaluation, so that large amounts of evaluators could participate in the process. The work of the evaluators is assessed by assigning them a level of confidence. This level of confidence is assigned and updated considering the expertise of the evaluator but also his or her behaviour during the evaluation process. The combination of a large set of evaluators, their anonymity, and their assessment, have led to a more objective and unbiased system of evaluation and measuring.
