As ever I have issues with the definition of "belief" used here. In their sense it seems to be a discrete quantity - either you believe in something absolutely or you don't believe in it. Personally I tend to qualify my beliefs by probability - I consider it unlikely but not impossible that Nessie exists, but without absolute proof, that's an issue of faith - albeit a rational one. Likewise I hold atheism to be a rational issue of faith; but the quiz forces you to chose either "rationality" or "faith" and fails to consider a bitten bullet there. All in all, this quiz just shows why you can't adequately describe your philosophy in a series of tick-boxes.
And the first question is particulalry dodgy. To state that "God exists", a clearer definition of "God" is required. I believe, in various ways, in various gods, but I call none of them "God".
