The document discusses how to report the results of a Kendall's Tau correlation in APA style. It provides an example of a problem where military rank is correlated with aptitude test ranking. The general template is given as: Based on the results, those with lower ranks were more likely to score higher on an aptitude test, rt = -.32, p < .05.
