typologists
Those who classify
Typologists are scholars who study or create typologies—systems for classifying things into types based on shared characteristics.
The term appears across disciplines: linguistic typologists compare structural features across languages, while personality typologists develop frameworks like Myers-Briggs.
The typologists disagreed about how to categorize the specimens.
