It is important to wear gloves.
How do we identify adjectives from nouns? I know typically they answer the following questions: which one or what kind of?, how many and how much?.

A good dictionary will give the possible parts of speech for a word, and example usage.
"Important" is always an adjective. It has a related noun, importance, and adverb, importantly.
