Is there a way to tell if an objects property is worldunits (like a sphere's radius) or a time value (like pflow age test's test value)? All i can get from classof $.radius is "Float" or "Integer"

edit: ShowPorperties gives me this info, but i would need to make a function to get the info out of the string it returns.. not really the best solution!

I think the only way to derive that is to check the scene scale values... and even that is no guarantee, if a value is arbitrary and not a worldunit. I think the only way is to check the system and display units settings.
