Classical Values :: High School Irish spoken here!

High School Irish spoken here!

Via Dr. Helen, I learned a couple of interesting things about this blog and myself.

First, Dr. Helen links this site which rates any blog by level of reading difficulty.

While her blog is written at the Genius level, Classical Values is written at the High School level.

I don't mind that at all, as I'm a compulsive explainer and want what I say to be as easy-to-understand as possible.

What amazes me is that Volokh.com is rated Junior High -- and so are Glenn Reynolds and Ann Althouse.

Beats me why.... There must be some factor which isn't staring me in the face.

The other test Dr. Helen linked is a test to determine your Inner European. Hers is Russian.

It turns out that I'm Irish! (I'm not of Irish descent, and I've never been to the place, although I have been accused of talking Blarney. And of course some of my best friends are Irish.)

Your Inner European is Irish!

Sprited and boisterous!
You drink everyone under the table.

Who's Your Inner European?

Very amusing tests.

So go check your reading level and test your nationality!

You whipped me here. I got stuck with Genius and French.

By the way, what were the catergories above High School and Irish? They never tell us what the top groups are.

No, I think you whipped me! High School is lower than College, and College is lower then Genius. Whether Irish is higher than French depends....

Lol. I guess I got that caterwampus.

Ireland: How do you measure yourself against other countries?

France: By elevation.

A lot of those reading level tools consider sentence length. I doubt that would explain Volokh, but I'm sure InstaPundit's Hehs skew his average.

I'm Italian (not a notably irrational description) but, in another test, the historical personage I am most like is Abraham Lincoln and the flick I most resemble is "Easy Rider." Uhhh.
