That isn't correct. A closed port responds saying that the port is closed (as in no services are being offered on that port, and it isn't expecting any data). A stealth port doesn't respond at all and is indicative of a fully firewalled computer, or that there isn't a host at that address at all. Thus GRC's scanner can't actually see a stealthed port - the results would be the same if you turned off your computer.
