Summary/Abstract: In the article, I make analyses related to possible ways of evaluating creativity. I present three possible shots: 1) colloquial, which captures creativity as something good; 2) the approach about the "dark side of creativity", proposed by Robert McLaren, who claims that creativity can be rated as good or bad depending on its effects; 3) the view of Mark Runco, who claims that creativity cannot be valued. I analyse the above-mentioned concepts, pointing out their theoretical problems.
