How would we go about "measuring" you, for instance?

Indeed - a mere description doesn't cut the mustard. It's not a matter of what he looks like, but what he "is".

And how do we measure pain/pleasure, love/hate, joy/sorrow just to name a few qualia?

All qualia are grounded in physical, measurable phenomona. How directly and precisely one measures it is a function of technical capability.
