categorizers

Those who sort

Categorizers are people or things that sort items into groups based on shared characteristics.

In computing, a categorizer is software that automatically classifies data—emails into folders, images by content, text by topic.

The spam categorizer caught most of the junk mail.

Some personality frameworks identify categorizers as people who instinctively organize information into systems.
