SteemIQ is a great little tool written by nphacker that analyzes your articles on steemit.com and gives you a STEEM IQ rating that represents how "intelligent" your posts are and not how intelligent you are. The rating is based on the number of difficult words you use. There are some other interesting functions that the tool also provides, but their discovery I'll be leaving to you.
The other rating you get is a relative School Grade rating based on the complexity of the posts you make using a Flesch Kincaid Grade Level, the higher the grade, the harder your text could be to understand, especially by people with English language not being their native one.
The tool reports 121.1 STEEM IQ and 11.2 School Grade for my posts and says that I'm apparently writing at the level of Academic Journals, so it seems that I may need to simplify things I write a bit to make them understandable by a broader audience. Maybe I should also write shorter Blog posts…
Go and check the STEEM IQ and School Grade and post the results in the comments below, and if you like the SteemIQ tool don't forget to show your support to the developer @nphacker.

How come @nphacker himself isn't writing about this?

He has written about the tool multiple times already, you probably missed the announcement and updates.

This is the initial announcement: https://steemit.com/development/@nphacker/steemiq-me-how-smart-is-your-writing-find-out-your-steemiq
He has posted multiple times regarding updates after that, so you might want to check them as well, because the initial release was much different from what is currently available as functionality :)

Voted for it seeing as how it's interesting, but I'd argue that people who write or speak only in eight syllable words might actually be putting their point across in a less efficient and less intelligible manner. The point of speaking is to convey an idea, so if you're doing it less efficiently than everyone else, what the hell are you doing?
Anything I type, I always try to dumb down and remove as many large words as possible on purpose. Expressing something with the least amount of words or syllables possible is called efficient, not stupid.
(also, that site parsed a blank post I made as having 0.0/0.0, so it should probably discard 0 values or values below a certain threshold)

I view it as fun tool that gives you a more 'scientific' type of rating about how you write.
Report any issues you find or suggestions you may have to: @nphacker
He will fix them, thus making it more useful and accurate...

I think the spectrum of IQs is too narrow. I'm not seeing much divergence. Seems like everyone is within a 20-25 point range.

Its definetely a necessary tool to give us all feedback on quality of our posts. Saved in my bookmarks, thanks.

It's a neat tool. I get a lower score (102/6.0), but happy to be ranked with Tolkein. I try to write clearly and minimise spelling errors. I realise that a lot of people here do not have English as their first language and we have to make allowances for that. Writing here may help them improve. I certainly couldn't write in other languages
