There are "symptoms of psychosis" which can be measured but there are no indicators of creativity?


A lot more work has been put into working out psychosis than creativity because it's a higher priority to treat the psychotic than to study creativity. And more grant money available. It's just a matter demand basically.


More grant money available, yes. But the reason for that is probably more political or cultural than intellectual or scientific. And a quick Googling shows there is plenty of research done by psychologists on creativity, too.
