For which purpose?
For determining if someone is a giant, or a midget in giant's clothing.
That's not really useful. I don't even know in which context are we talking about these things. Is it about hiring someone? Is it about deciding on whether someone's work is "worthy" to be in a museum, or published, or something else? It is about admitting people to your social circle? Is it about generally ranking all people on some scale just because we can?
But that's a test you can only run once somebody is dead, so it's not very useful.
