English term or phrase: go off the chart
It is about creativity in adulthood. The extract reads as follows:

"Creativity gets worse in high school.
In college, even worse.
Then as working adults, it goes off the charts"

ya no se encuentra ni con lupa / empeora tanto que ya ni la ves


Explanation:
Así lo entiendo yo.

Aporto un par de opciones adicionales.

Cae tan bajo, que se hunde en el subsuelo.

Cae de tal manera, que es subterránea.

Cae estrepitósamente hacia un abismo sin fondo.

Se derrumba por completo.

Colapsa hasta niveles por debajo de cero...

Bueno, opciones, haylas... :-)

Saludos cordiales.

Sale de Guatemala, para meterse en "Guatepeor"...

Empeora tanto, que no puede encontrarse.

Se agrava de tal manera que resulta patético...

Declina y se arruina por completo.

Se eclipsa hacia un ocaso irremediable.

Sufre tal bajón, que no hay quien la encuentre...

Bueno, hablando de "creatividad", (modestia aparte) yo no debo de haber hecho el bachillerato ni haber ido a la Uni, pues "crear, lo que es crear", "creo que puedo crear algo..." ;-)

Saludos una vez más.
