Well, there was an "I can't say" option.

Sorry, I assumed that you were agreeing with his characterization and riffing.

I simply thought it was curious that both you and the survey's first page implied (though not strongly) that the survey taker would be given an indication as to what one's answers implied.
Nothing more.
To the extent that it is a 'test', it doesn't have strong negative results. That is, if it finds that your responses are sufficient to prove that a necessary being exists, you have a strong result. If it doesn't find that your responses are sufficient to prove that a necessary being exists, then there isn't much of a result (since it might be that your responses are sufficient, but the test isn't sensitive enough to detect that, or that your responses aren't sufficient, or that your responses are sufficient to demonstrate that a necessary being doesn't exist).
