Wow. Massive, massive omission. If true, the person who publicized this either tossed it off without doing much homework or had a serious ideological axe to grind.

Again, I'm just re-posting that comment. Would be nice if someone who could read the actual article confirmed that the comment is accurate.

Once I started reading that they were trying to assess the political beliefs of the twins and measuring their feelings about things like collectivism, I started to smell that this was turning into political propaganda. Especially when they claimed one grew up in a more religious household. How does one measure that? Especially when there's a good chance there were different religions in both families.

How is that supposed to be hard to measure?
Not only this doesn't sounds especially hard to do roughly, but it is in fact a pretty well studied topic in social science so there's plenty of literature about how to do such a measurement.
