Measuring equalness of a scale

Hi,

how would you measure a given scale's closeness to an equal scale with
the same frame interval (octave, tritave etc.) and the same number of
tones?

In other words how do you determine the equalness of a scale?

Scala's "show et_diff [ET]" gives one take on this.

"Show data" gives another:

Average distance from equal tempered ...
Standard deviation from equal tempered ...
Maximum distance from equal tempered ...
