Were you expecting that people with high C would or wouldn't skip questions? I can see arguments either way. Conscientious people might skip questions they don't have answers to or that they aren't willing to put the time into to give a good answer, or they might put in the work to have answers they consider good to as many questions as possible.
Is it feasible to compare wrong sort of answer with C?
Is it possible that the test for C wasn't very good?
Wouldn't; that was the claim of the linked paper.
Not really, if it wasn't caught by the no-answer check or the NA check.
As I said, it came out as expected for LW as a whole, and it did correlate with income once the CS salaries were removed... Hard to know what ground-truth there could be to check the scores against.
