A non-consequentialist could be a moral realist as well, such as if they were a deontologist, so it's not a good measurement.

Also, consequentialism and moral realism aren't always well-defined terms.

Edit: That survey's results are strange. Twenty people answered that they're moral realists but non-cognitivists, though moral realism is necessarily cognitivist.
