Coefficients of correlation and concordance are defined for profiles consisting of ensembles of partially ordered sets by extending Kendall's rank order correlation (tau) and Kendall's coefficient of concordance (W) to cases where Ss are asked to rank order, or to choose among, the given alternatives in multiple sets (ensembles) of items. Computational versions of each formula are given for the case of triad judgment ensembles.
