I'm with you on the over 6' for men and under 5'4 for women. For women, over 5'7 is tall and under 5'8" for men is short to me. I don't know why... I'm told I'm tall often and I'm not even 5'6" (female). Heels make it hard to determine heights for women obviously. But I must say, most reports I write ask height by feet and inches.
Same goes for hair though - to me, shoulder length is medium for women but I've seen reports where that is considered long. Near the ears is medium for men. But a crew cut and shaved head are often reported as short if no "crew cut" option is available.

For an asian I am 6'2-3''(height changes throughout the day). A lot of people say asians are short, but height varies from region to region, i.e northern Chinese is generally taller than southern Chinese.
I never really know how tall someone is... Once, they were on a platform that I did not see until three shops later at the same location. I wear different heels and usually forget to factor in how tall I am in my shoes. Sometimes, people are seated and I don't see their legs and can't estimate their height. Some hair adds a few inches. Are we supposed to consider this? (would you have to explain? "Due to enthusiastically teased hair, the employee was above average. Without this hair, the employee would be only average."

Yes, I had to write 3 descriptors for a seated man wearing a beanie with no hair showing. They wanted height, hair color and length, and facial hair and glasses only if they had it. I was at a loss, as they didn't accept body type, nationality, age, or anything else I could muster for this person. I think the report was sent back twice because I really had nothing to offer them!
