Answer

The proper term is: Adjetivos graduables y adjetivos no graduables. Most of the "adjetivos calificativos" are "graduables", but if they mean the extrem grade of a property, then they are "adjetivos calificativos no graduables", for example "exquisito", extraordinario", "tremendo", "insignificante"...

We don´t say "adjetivos no calificativos". Each of the others are their own category. So, we have:
Adjetivos calificativos.
Adjetivos relacionales.
Adjetivos exclamativos e interrogativos.
Adjetivos demostrativos.
Adjetivos posesivos.
Adjetivos numerales.

Answer

Yo creo que en español no existe una traducción concreta. Yo he visto referencias a adjetivos "graduables" y "no graduables". Creo que no existen adjetivos "no calificativos", así que no usaría esa traducción.

Answer

You can say "adjetivos calificativos o descalificativos"
