Regarding R.I. Beekun's request.  There is a multiserial correlation in which o
ne variable is assumed to be continuous while the other exists only in k >= 2 c
ategories.  These categories are assumed to be formed from an underlying normal
 distribution.  When k=2 the multiserial is the same as the biserial.  The bis
erial should not be appropriate for the given case as the biserial only applies
 to the dichotomous case.  I can probably find a reference, if anyone is intere
sted.
