Ever wondered how smart you are based on your posts?
Today I am releasing version 0.1 of SteemIQ. SteemIQ uses Flesch-Kincaid grade level and a number of other metrics such as number of difficult words, number of unique words etc. to generate an IQ between 0 to 200. A user must have at least 3 blog posts in English in order to calculate their SteemIQ. Here is a picture of my SteemIQ as calculated on the website:
What makes SteemIQ different?
- It does not correlate to reputation, Steem Power, amount of money or any existing metric on steemit.
- Dynamic algorithm : the more intellectual posts you make the higher your SteemIQ will go.
- Ever changing : development will make this metric a lot more accurate as bugs are found and fixed.
- Complete sentences will make the IQ more accurate.
Things learned from developing SteemIQ
- There are a lot of dummy accounts on steemit like aizen01, aizen02, aizen03, aizen04 ...
- Only around 500 users of the first 5000 alphabetically have more than 3 posts with complete english sentences.
- English is a requirement as currently any other language skews the calculation of your SteemIQ.
Version 0.1 Release Log
- Supports calculating SteemIQ of any user with 3 posts in English that include complete sentences.
- That's it for now, though there will be many new features coming soon!
