Pretty much my take. Such a dishonest piece. I remember the fervor over that first one.

I had to look up the results on the new test: http://econjwatch.org/articles/economic-enlightenment-revisi...

The lefty test: Progressives 5.26; Liberal 4.69; Moderate 3.67; Conservative 1.67; Very Conservative 1.30; Libertarian 1.38.

The righty test: Progressives 2.00, Liberals 2.35, Conservatives 4.00, Very Conservatives 4.57, and Libertarians 3.82.

Of course, the results of both tests are a measure of how biased the questions are, so it's just as much a measure of the question creator as those surveyed. But, he could have presented them consistently.
