Are there quantitative ways of measuing creativity?
Hi Álvaro,
There are quite many; one approach is the 'Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking'. I suggest that you search for Theresa Amabile's work. She has some of the best texts ever written about creativity. Also Elspeth Mcfadzean has some great publications in this regard. Some of their newer publications will most likely act as great pieces for snowballing the reference lists.

Max, I am aproaching criativity in gastronomy (menu creation, creative management, etc.).
Jacob, thank you very much. I will look for those references. All the best...
Peter, I think as many ways as one can possible imagine :-)
You can use creativity scale for innovation (the scale can be slightly modified for gastronomy menu design) . This article may shed more light

Dear Álvaro Augusto Dealcides Silveira Moutinho Bahls ,
Creativity is the ability to generate, create, or discover new ideas, solutions, and possibilities. divergent thinking: the opposite of convergent thinking, the capacity for exploring multiple potential answers or solutions to a given question or problem (e.g., coming up with many different uses for a common object) .
It is shown that three dimensions of creativity (novelty, appropriateness and impact) constitute a framework within which creativity can be defined and measured. Further clarity to the definition of creativity is added by distinguishing between person's and product's creativity and providing definitions for each.
Three main ways of measuring creativity have been proposed: the creativity quotient (CQ), psychometrics, and the social-personality approach.
Creativity tests are typically divided into four main components: Divergent thinking, Convergent thinking, Artistic assessments and Self assessments
