Readability scale

I've found a cool online site that rates how readable a passage or article is.

The link is: http://www.online-utility.org/english/readability_test_and_improve.jsp

An example of how it works using the first line of this post:

Number of characters (without spaces) : 63.00
Number of words : 15.00
Number of sentences : 1.00
Average number of characters per word : 4.20
Average number of syllables per word : 1.33
Average number of words per sentence: 15.00

Indication of the number of years of formal education that a person requires in order to easily understand the text on the first reading
Gunning Fog index : 6.00

Approximate representation of the U.S. grade level needed to comprehend the text :
Coleman Liau index : 6.94
Flesh Kincaid Grade level : 5.99
ARI (Automated Readability Index) : 5.85
SMOG : 3.00

Flesch Reading Ease : 78.81
