The instrument is composed of an abjective questionnaire based on previons studies with 13 indicative variables of climate to creativeness. The variables are: Motivation and Commitment, Dynamism and Energy, Time for
Ideas, Freedom to createve, Ludism and Humor, Support to Ideas, Discussion and Debates, Absence of Conflict, Trust and Openess, Risk-taking, Support
to Innovation, Wages and Benefits and Tolerance to Differences. The results were checked by the analysis of the content of the answers from the Data Collection. The indications which had fewer answers, that is, the most difficult to be defined were: Motivation and Commitment and Dynamism and Energy. The results have shown a good consistency of contents according to the definitions of the subjects and some definitions are similar to other definitions found in studies coducted in Brazil by other researchers. We may conclude that these indications can be important variables in the diagnosis of climate to creativity in the work environment.
