Hi Peg,
What you want falls in the category of the so-called "Personality Tests". Upon completing these "tests", the respondent is provided with a "results" or "achievement" report.
Such a feature exists in some online survey-type activities, and would be a useful feature to add to the Questionnaire module, but is not available at the moment.
Sorry,
Joseph

Not until the new "survey2" module is implemented and made available (probably in Moodle 2.2 late this year).
