How about just measure entropy based on some criteria (using things from different sets MIGHT count as entropy for each new unique set) and letting the end user decide what goes in to the password and how long it is?

Would a raw entropy evaluation help mitigate a human factor like just using "passwordpassword" instead? Would that even be a problem?
