Claiming that there is no way to measure or to categorize persons is #StuffLibertariansLike, by the way. It's a way to eschew authority, since someone naming a group of people is defining that group, according to some particular set of characteristics defined by the name-giver.
To name something, is to take a position of authority, over it, like Adam naming the animals and Eve, in the Garden of Eden.
>>19 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.
But for Adam[f] no suitable helper was found. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs[g] and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib[h] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said,
“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.”<<
God named Adam.
Adam named everything else.
This is the basic human hierarchy.

However, over-belief in authority is why so many people think conservatives and deists are less intelligent, and for good reason. Turning that on its head and assuming no authority at all isn't smart either. Obviously
