Well, it depends. It does dictate what type of person you are- if you're well read, if you're intelligent (at least in an English-language respect), and I've noticed that particular houses seem to have certain writing styles. People tend to vote Puff when a person's writing style is warmer, simpler, and happy. People tend to vote Claw or Snake if they're elaborate and sound 'cold' in a way. And people tend to vote Lion for people who write simpler but with an angry/temperamental streak. This isn't necessarily what houses they get into, though, as is evident here. However, it's strange that you possess so few Puff values when you write like a Puff and I think that's where a few people are feeling a bit of a push. It's a subconcious thing.
I don't know if that makes sense to you, but I've a way of reading applications and people- the words they say don't matter so much as how they say them. Because you can lie all you want, but your voice is always honest.
But, as said before, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, because reading through your application again, it does have a bit of that "I'm in high school, so I put the question in my answer and write my answers like a hamburger." (don't ask me to explain this if you haven't heard the hamburger paper rant yet) So that's given me enough doubt in your pushiness due to the way high school tends to kill people's writing that I'm not going to Muggle you.

I disagree entirely. A truly talented writer is able to create or mimic any voice perfectly. Like the best author, the best liar does not tell; he shows.
Hm, okay. But we're talking about a fifteen year old in an online sorting community. I was assuming she wasn't pathetic. Also, I'm very doubtful that we're talking about a great writer or a great liar (no offense to the applicant). If she was either, this never would've been brought up.
