Each passport index have different method of ranking the passports. Normally it will stated in their website.

For an example, Hanley Passport Index give the scores of 1 each time the passport can be used to enter the country without visa or visa can be obtained on arrival. Generally, the citizen of any country that have a good foreign relation are easy to go anywhere.

Since the ranking method are different, you will notice that your passport may ranked higher in one index and lower in another index.

The passport that get higher score like Singapore, Japan, etc. will be categorized as Strong Passport and the one that ranked lower like Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, etc will be categorized as Weak passport.
