Cakephp, jquery, .ajax (), dataType: json

Question

Is it possible to get by without presenting the cakephp controller function? I am trying to get my server to return a data type that is not a string, but an array

my controller function:

    function test() {
      $this->layout = 'plain';
      $task['Numbers']['uno'] = 'mooo';
      $task['Numbers']['dos'] = 'says the cow';
      $result = json_encode($task);
      $this->set('result', $result);
    }

my view file is test.ctp

    echo $result;

my jquery:

    $('#test').live('click', test);

    function test() {

        var data = $('#form').serialize();

        $.ajax({
        type: "post",
        url: "/controller/test",
        data: data,
        dataType: 'json',
        success: function(response){            
        alert(response.Numbers.uno);
        }
        });

    }

clicking on the html element marked test doesn't give me anything. however if i take out

dataType: 'json', 

and change

alert(response.Numbers.uno);

to

alert(response);

in my jquery - i get an alert: the json encoded data but as a string (

alert(typeof response);

)

does anyone have any idea what might be happening?
