There is a "Scoville" scale that measures heat units. The hotness of a pepper is derived from the amount of the active ingredient capsaisin that it contains. Personally I like hot pepppers and can consume everything up to habaneros (with food). Beyond that, if there are any hotter, that's too much for me.
