In general, categorical features are easy to spot, as they convey qualitative information, such as risk level, occupation, and interests. However, it gets tricky if the feature takes on a discreet and countable (limited) number of numerical values, for instance, 1 to 12 representing months of the year, and 1 and 0 indicating true and false. The key to identifying whether such a feature is categorical or numerical is whether it provides mathematical implication: if so, it is a numerical feature, such as product rating from 1 to 5; otherwise, categorical, such as the month or day of the week.
