Is your blog smarter than a 5th grader?




Aparently mine isn’t, as the ranking shows. What’s your blog’s?

I'm not sure if I should take my "genius" ranking as a compliment. O_o

I’m now curious about this tool. First, how does it determine the ratings? Second, it’s important to note the question is, “What level of education is required to understand your blog?” Depending upon your blog’s intended audience, the rating can be good or bad. For starters, a lower education level only means your work is attractive to a wider range of people, which can be good in most cases. Conversely, a higher education rating can be bad if you hope to lure a wide audience. In some respects, it would be distressing to learn grade school kids would ever want to read our blogs. Ditto geniuses.

I think I read somewhere that it's based on the amount of syllables they contain also related to complexity. Or something like that. Based on that criteria, I could probably get away with ‘moth•er•fuck•er’ vs. ‘sci•en•tif•ic.’

yeah, you're probably right. multicultclassics actually received two different ratings on different days, probably based on the varying blog content.
