Omnibus Kruskal-Wallis yielded a chi-square (X2) and p-value for each test. Post-hoc mean rank tests yielded a p-value and confidence interval (in brackets) for each test that compared between two performance groups. Bold font represents statistically-significant results when tested at α = 0.05 level.
