LIX

For the international school in Korea, see Lycée International Xavier.

LIX is a readability measure indicating the difficulty of reading a text[1] developed by Swedish scholar Carl-Hugo Björnsson. It is computed as follows:

\text{LIX} = \frac{A}{B} + \frac{C \cdot 100}{A}, where

A is the number of words,

B is the number of periods (defined by period, colon or capital first letter), and

C is the number of long words (more than 6 letters).[2]
