But I hardly think that would apply to some I've written. Haven't checked out any other specific posts.<BR/><BR/>I think all of these short cut tests and ratings, and I've taken quite a few, don't reveal a whole lot. From my perspective the most they offer is entertainment value.<BR/><BR/>Maybe others give them more credence. So, for what it's worth, I have no difficulty understanding your posts here, and I'm no genius. Now, that does not negate your being a genius because despite your genius, you've managed to write this post in such a way even I can understand it.joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30396930.post-13087813849220964532007-12-11T17:06:00.000-09:002007-12-11T17:06:00.000-09:00Wow.

Because the test only rates the blog that is right there, it can change depending on what you wrote about. I did it for two different kinds of my blogs. One was my regular blog addy and a blog that was up that day and got high school level; then I chose one a few days earlier, did it for it specifically and got college level. <BR/><BR/>Because I was curious to see how it compared, I took the one it rated to needing college level to 'get' and rated it on my Word program. It rated it for readability using Flesch reading ease at 66.3 and Flesch-Kincaid Grade level 8.1 which is about where I average when I write manuscripts. <BR/><BR/>I do not know how that online rating tool evaluates, but felt as you did in questioning where the writer would want it to be. You might check a couple of your blogs to see where the Flesch-Kincaid system rates them.<BR/><BR/>For what it's worth, I think your blogs are quite readable and can't imagine it'd take a genius to 'get' them. I think they are earthy and well written about real life situations.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.com
