Obviously it isn't 100% accurate but I got Economic Left/Right: 0.38. Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.74.

That can't be right!

I was placed near Tony Blair and Gerhard Schroder on the graph. Then however, I realised that their compass positions were determined by their speeches, rather than their actions. I can sleep easy now...

Dave, I can assure you based on my readings of your posts you are nothing but a solid Tory. I couldn't see a large amount of agreement between you and Blair/Schroder on many issues at all.

I think it is difficult to take a one-size-fits-all approach to this sort of thing. For example if you included Australian questions such as on the Monarchy, aussie flag, British Empire/Commonwealth, Knighthoods, oath etc. I would clearly be seen as a tory, however with the political compass questions I appear to be very much a liberal. One thing is for sure though, I am definantly NOT a socialist/Labour supporter!

Economic Left/Right: -1.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.90

That is, two squares to the left and four squares towards libertarian. Some of the questions obviously refer to specific national contexts, though, like the one about civil liberties and terrorism.
