You can only report the top 5 in the Overall category. There is the only place you have five items that scored above the statistical cut off, unfortunatel 4 of them are statistically tied. In all the other categories you can only report three or four.

There is a much bigger problem with the Overall group. Other should not appear, it should be a statistical Outlier and its not. This tends to invalidate your results. The easiest way to solve this problem is to increase your sample size and resample. You should continue doing this until all other responces dop below the statistical thresh hold.
