		  doing so, a question must be answered: what is the role of
		  subjectivity in stylistic assessment for a style-revision
		  facility? We describe an experiment designed to measure the
		  agreement between the stylistic assessments performed by a
		  group of subjects, based on a free-sort of writing samples.
		  The results show that there is a statistically significant
		  level of agreement between the subjects' assessments and,
		  furthermore, there was a small number of groupings (three)
		  of even more similar stylistic assessments. The results
		  also show the invalidity of using authorship as an
		  indicator of the reader's perceptions of stylistic
		  similarity between the writing samples.},
