I would like to correlate two psychometric non-continuous variables, for example learning style (9 values) and results from a behavioral assessment (4 values). What statistical test would be best to look at correlations between these two variables? Are there similar studies for review?

These variables sound like they are nominal (that is, they have no order). If that is true, the concept of correlation does not apply. If you are asking about the relationship between the two, you can look at, e.g. crosstables and chi-square statistics. Or logistic regression. Or odds ratios. Or some other things.

$\begingroup$ Thank you for your feedback - crosstables and chi-squared statistics worked but wondered if you have a reference for using logistic regression in a similar case? $\endgroup$– GLightCommented Sep 27, 2014 at 13:23
