Yeah, the very first questions was:

If globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations.

I finished it, I am between Margaret Thatcher and Hitler but the amazing thing is that it makes me the same as Tony Blair. Yeah, that's where I always thought Tony, FOB, Blair was.

Do you suppose Ghandi, Toni Blair, Hitler, Milton Friedman, etc all took this stupid test????

What a B-S questionnaire!!!

Many of the questions I could not answer, since the questions were too vague, but I did my best.

One square right from center, one square down from center.

Interesting excercise and amusing results for one of "Barry's Boys" (Barry Goldwater "64).

The left would be surprised, but I'm not. Being a conservative is being for the individual more than the state, but not for greed and immorality more than my country.

Mor Libertarian and less Conservative than I would have guessed. But some of the questions are really hard to answer. There are a lot of "it depends" type of questions. It's fun but I don't know how acurate.

The questions were more like statements than questions; I didn't make it far.

Careful, everybody...the Political Compass is a Libertarian tool to convince a whole lot of people they are really Libertarians and not truly conservatives

I am completely shattered. My scores were 3.25/1.28. I am listed as where Tony Blair was politically in 1996. I feel so disgusting and dirty. Why couldn't I score around Mrs. Thatcher, why did I have to score almost right on that horizontal axis on half-way to the far right. I feel so bad.

Does it mean anything that they don't know how to spell globalization?

Well, they got the right location for me (more or less), but some of the questions were absurd and I left them blank.

Glanced at the test. Many of the questions assumed I would accept some absurd premise before I answered. On those, No answer was possible. I'm not taking such a manipulative test. Seems like a PR setup by someone who doesn't understand conservatism enough to test for it.
