I don't think that you can make a measurement based on a single point, but you have to consider all the points together for Elo to make sense. However, you can have some kind of ranking for overachieving or underachieving and also a ranking based on the Elo of the player/engine making the choice. Another thing maybe worth a look is the average Elo of the person choosing a move.
