I think that's the same one they use in MS word, and as a rule, not very accurate (it's a little more like eloquency-level). Or a measure of readability (the average person of grade-whatever could read this). Or something like that.

And it's not as amusing as the 'gender genie' and friends.

actually the Flesch-Kincaid readability scale is one of the more respected and accurate scales out there, a lot of SATs use it to determine your ability to read text.

Well it typically ranks me at 6/7 ish, and it's been a long time since I was 12.

"Microsoft employees constipate." (or so) ranks quite high according to MS Word.

My grade level was 4, which I thought was rather amusing.

Then I took and IQ test and got 129 which was even more amusing.

Then I watched the video Snatch which was downright hysterical.

I guess it takes all types.

Poo, ye beat me. 8, and that beat most of the people on my friend's list. Funnily enough, Sue's LJ (prawn_star) is probably the most readable journal on the list and she got 4, so perhaps it's not such a boast.
