This topic is fresh in my mind since I just got back from IAS09. How about defining the type of designer according to what you actually design?
Like, an interface designer designs software interfaces. An information architect designs the structural plans for a web site. A graphic designer designs graphics for publication. This is why I'm not so crazy about "interaction" or "experience" design, as they refer to something a bit more abstract. But that doesn't mean they can't be used, but it takes a bit of extra effort to explain it: An "interaction designer" designs screens, pages, kiosks, touch-screens, and other interaction points. And, as Dan reiterates, IxDA's don't "define complex dialogs"...that just sounds like a professional in search of a profession. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
