The Kendall-Tau test with ties was utilized in testing for both level of significance and direction of relationship in hypotheses on continuing education for working laboratory personnel in the State of Iowa. Findings reported from a response group of 422 active laboratory personnel indicated that: (i) all educational levels of personnel are interested in continuing education; (ii) all laboratory personnel based on year of certification are interested in continuing education; (iii) supervisory personnel have a more marked interest in continuing education than line technologists/technicians; (iv) females are less willing to sacrifice for participation in continuing education than males; and (v) personnel in smaller hospitals have an interest in continuing education that is perhaps less than those in larger hospitals.
在对爱荷华州在职实验室人员继续教育的假设进行显著性水平和关系方向检验时，使用了带平局的肯德尔等级相关检验。来自422名在职实验室人员的回应组报告的结果表明：（i）所有教育水平的人员都对继续教育感兴趣；（ii）所有根据认证年份划分的实验室人员都对继续教育感兴趣；（iii）监督人员比一线技术人员/技术员对继续教育有更明显的兴趣；（iv）女性比男性更不愿意为参加继续教育而做出牺牲；（v）小型医院的人员对继续教育的兴趣可能低于大型医院的人员。
