Students were asked to score eighteen professional attributes on a sliding scale, ranging from "applying to specialists" on the far left and "applying to generalists" on the far right. The graph demonstrates percentage deviations from the ‘equally weighted’ score of 5 (which would mean that an attribute is considered to be equally applicable to both generalists and specialists), presented as means ± SEM scores for 101 Imperial College London School of Medicine students in Years 1 and 5/6 of study. Group differences between Year 1 and Years 5/6 mean percentage deviations from neutral were compared using a Mann–Whitney U test
