This work is part of the debate regarding the possibility to judge the creativity of a
particular object (an idea, a painting, an industrial product, etc.), by expert or nonexpert
raters, with the same results or not. The study is focused on the concept complexity of
judgment, considered fundamental to fully understand the problem. The objective is to
discover the main reason of the match between expert and nonexpert ratings in assessing
creativity. Results suggest the situations in which such ratings tend to converge or
diverge, underlining the fundamental role played by the complexity of judgment. In
addition, some suggestions for further studies are presented, aimed at assessing the
generalizability of the proposed considerations in other context or in adopting other
creativity assessment techniques.
