Romberg test positive or not?

I went to a new neurologist today and was so overwhelmed with information that I didn't ask him this question so I thought I would ask your opinion.  I had the full run of neuro tests and during the Romberg test I fell to the left very quickly.  He steadied me and asked me again to close my eyes and I was able to balance myself pretty well, still swaying but did not fall.  Does this mean I am positive or negative?  He ordered a cervical MRI but is wondering if I have atypical migraines causing my issues.  

Thank you :)

to add, my first neuro exam was also positive. I had trouble balancing myself. It was part of the symptoms of my worst flare. It improved with time.
