for ratings the process is the same as rankings except that there is no
need for values that represent tied rankings.

Thanks Art. In this case each variable has a rank from 1 to 4 (integers) and
then I want to determine the mode across the variables

I am a little confused if you have ranks for the variables, wouldn't the
responses be 1 to 6 each value occurring once in the set of six, unless
there were a tie say at 3.
