	Clinical Problem Solving^a		Situational Judgement Test^a
	Radiology sample (n = 297)	GP/CMT population (n = 6671)	Radiology sample (n = 297)	GP/CMT population (n = 6671)
Score	235.0	249.8	230.4	249.3
Mean (standard)	235.0	249.8	230.4	249.3
Standard deviation	35.6	40.4	40.4	41.0
Range	91 - 315	56 - 342	58 - 312	50 -331
Reliability^b (α)	0.80	0.86	0.84	0.86

^aRadiology sample and GP/CMT population compared gave CPS and SJT p < 0.001 (SJT t = 8.2, CPS t = 7.3; unpaired, 2-tailed t test)
^bUsing Cronbach’s co-efficient where α ≥ 0.8 is considered ‘good’ internal reliability
