I could see that for LeGuin, I'm not really familiar with her work anyway.
But when you have Jordan as peaceful to Tolkien as violent, I'm going to play the "call the test creator's choices in question" card. All the more so when Team Oxford (Tolkien and Lewis) is depicted as low-brow, because they wrote for "the masses" (which they did not: the masses enjoyed their work, which is different).
