To be clear, the Political Compass is a measurement of what the Heritage Foundation believes, not to mention the numerous flaws within the testing mechanisms themselves.

Do you have a source for that? The Wikipedia page about it doesn't mention it and mentions other sources, which I guess could be tied to the heritage foundation but even clicking through links I couldn't find any connection.

I'm not saying there isn't plenty to criticize about the concept and where they place particular individuals. That's just the first time I've heard this claim, and I'm curious about it.

It isn't a heritage foundation outlet, the creator of the Political Compass based the ideas of "libertatian-authoritarian" and "left-right" on how the Heritage Foundation sees those aspects.
