I was curious about that category, not knowing what it actually meant. I wondered if it is something akin to 'neo-conservative'?
In any case, the questions, as AmericanMother notes, are ambiguous and some of them are variations on one another such that a clear 'no' in one case would permit a guarded 'yes' in another resulting in a contradictory view.
The questions I'm referring to here are:
8. 'The Bible is God's primary revelation of himself.'
41. 'The person of Christ, rather than the Bible, is the central focus of God's self-revelation.'
Now, given that I basically can only know Christ by reading the Bible (at least in the intellectual sense), the question of which is fundamental depends on the context, which is missing in the first question. I suppose it is intended to imply the Protestant doctrine of Sola Scriptura, but need not.
Basically, this isn't even a scientifically designed survey, much less one whose results might provide information about the population. I wouldn't put too much stock in the result.

Neo-orthodox does not quite believe that Jesus was God for a period of time in His earthly life. It also believes that the Bible contains the Word of God but itself as a whole is NOT completely the Word of God. It is half way between fully biblical Christianity and liberal pseudo-Christian religion but IMHO it is basically liberalism-lite.
I think there are some Neo-orthodox people who could be saved, but most of them are just as lost as unbelievers down the street.

It's a fairly new (1920) liberal/orthodoxy hybrid exhibiting a desire to return to the "meaning" of Scripture without the literal. More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoorthodoxy
As an example, Karl Barth, when asked if he believed the snake in Genesis spoke replied, "It doesn't matter if he really spoke, what matters is what he said."

Agreed - it was rather poorly thought out.
