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?
