Scientists use a specific convention to classify resonators called Rabelle's Curve. It is nothing more than the waveform graph of resonator frequencies and their fluctuation.
"The non-convergent Rabelle's Curve of Resonator Baizhi displays a gradual increase in the initial stage, followed by a sharp climb in the middle section. The test results thus categorize Baizhi as a Mutant Resonator with a Dormant Period."
Classifications are as follows: Natural, Mutant and Congenital.
Natural Resonators develop their powers thanks to the Awakening naturally over time, but not born with them. Technically speaking they have a non-convergent Rabelle's Curve with a gradual, stable rise.
Mutant Resonators develop the Awakening and their powers in response to a powerful and personal stimulus at a particular time in their lives. They have a non-convergent Rabelle Curve with a steep rise in its middle section.
Congenital Resonators are born with the aptitude, manifesting the Awakening and their powers at young age. They have a non-convergent Rabelle's Curve with a periodic waveform.
