It's not a bad rating for a fledgling theologian...
...but not so good for a former technical writer. The general rule is to aim for an eighth-grade reader if you want a wide audience of people to understand what you're trying to communicate. As they say, don't use a big word when a diminutive one will do. (I have no idea who they are.)

LOL! I'm really excited...mine came out "Jr. High".
:-)
I think it's your description of some spiritual things; you're writing from the same theological perspective, because that's what makes sense to you.
I struggle with a similar thing; I'm good with adults, but I can't take it to a true Jr. High in-your-face level. So the test is really bunk. So don't worry.
Reading level and comprehension level are often not the same thing.
Theocoid,
I got the same thing and I was truly surprised, but I agree with Adoro te Devote's explanation.
God bless you!
Jr. High
Is that good?
For readability, it's great. To be widely understood, you want to shoot for around 8th-grade reading level (ir at least that's the goal for which most tech writers aim). The justification is that the average reading level is 8th grade. Not sure what that translates to for your locale, but my 8th-grade daughter is turning 14 soon.
