자주 묻는 질문

How does PSK differ from Flesch-Kincaid?

Same inputs (sentence length + syllables) with different coefficients. PSK is calibrated for primary grades; FK extends through college.

Why use PSK over PK?

For elementary text (grades 1-6), PSK is better calibrated. For older audiences, use Flesch-Kincaid.

Is PSK still used?

In academic reading research, yes. In commercial writing, Flesch-Kincaid dominates. PSK shines as a third opinion for primary text.

실제 예시

입력

A 50-word elementary text with short sentences and one-syllable words.

출력

PSK grade 2.8 — primary.

Short sentences (avg 8 words) and low syllables-per-100 (110) place this firmly in early elementary range.

흔한 함정

  • Calibrated for grades 1-6; results above grade 6 are unreliable.
  • Doesn't check vocabulary familiarity — use Spache for that.
  • Short samples (< 100 words) are noisy.
  • Modern children's vocabulary may differ from the formula's 1958 calibration.
