A rush of blood to the head

Decided to Check out the hype with the blog readibility test.

According to the site, the title reads this

THE BLOG READABILITY (They spelt it as readibility) TEST
What level of education is required to understand your blog?

Type in your url and blam! the results are out. The mechanism hasnt been explained at all. So decided to do some fishing around and find out if anyone else had come across a suitable method for its working.

Most people think its got to do with the content that they have. I doubt it, its highly improbable that someone has developed an artificial intelligence system on this and remained so low key. It is a lot of work and deserves due recognition if he/ she has done that. Plus Stephen Hawking site has got an ELEMENTARY GRADE.

Then? Maybe its MS Word style using Flesch- Kincaid Readibility grade level based on the following equation :-



Then it totally makes sense that I get genius level :) Considering how my writing just goes on and on and on against all grammatical limitations.

Considering the speed at which the output is computed and we know for sure its not just random generated because the same content always got the same response, it has to be using some of the above factors since they can be easily computed.

It would also gel with the FOG index and the SMOG index that use pretty much the same factors but with different weight schemes .

Anyways, its a bit of fun :) and if u understand my blog, guess what ! You are a genius to make sense out of it all.
