<p>SarahsDad - I have heard this at many info sessions. This really bothers me as it is often through rereading our writing that we realize the "voice" is or isn't clear, is or isn't ours, reflects or doesn't reflect ourselves. From there we craft and edit. If this is going to be a measure of someone's TRUE voice or a measure of authenticity, that should be made clear to everyone taking the test. I would also like to know the validity of this expectation of similarity or authenticty. Has there been a study that finds a high correlation between the voice of a spontaneous, timed, response to an unknown prompt and the voice of a carefully crafted, considered and edited essay in response to a known prompt. I suspect that correlation does not exist and I am appalled that institutions of higher learning feel they can make that leap. If I am wrong, I would love to read the well controlled research studies that demonstrate this correlation. As it stands, it is purported to be a measure of writing, not a means of authentication.</p>
