Hi Stephen- I don't have the original post in front of me but my memory was that the scores were being categorized as something like "low-medium-high". To me this idicates ordinal data & that is why I suggested Spearman's Rho. Probably doesn't matter much which you use unless you have a highly non-monotonic distribution in which case the Pearson values would be artifically low.
Have a great weekend. -Don.
