It's not under-valued, it's non-valued. As in, it's impossible to attach a value to someone's creativity, because, as far as anyone has been able to determine, it's not quantifiable. You can't hire with "creative" as a criteria unless you can create some sort of test that will accept creative people and reject non-creative people. Since there is no such test, we don't bother to look for it when hiring, and thus don't build businesses that depend on their employees to be creative, because they haven't been filtered as such.

The ultimate test? Work with them.
