17 March 2009 Psychometric testing to improve road safetyA road safety charity says that psychometric testing could play a vital role in helping to reduce the number of people killed on UK roads. According to Brake, looking at how psychometric testing works for company drivers can help all motorists identify their psychological and emotional responses to driving, how this can affect their behaviour on the road and how it puts them at higher risk of crashing. The charity says driving is a complex task, requiring full concentration and a vital balance between alertness and a calm attitude. Stressed and strong emotions can affect this balance whether they result from the driving task itself, or unrelated matters. A survey by Brake and Green Flag found that 12% of drivers said they had driven while feeling stressed, angry or annoyed at the behaviour of other road users several times a week. A further 15% said once a week, 16% said once a month, and 4% admitted to feeling this way at least once a day. As a result, some companies use psychometric testing to assess the effects of driving on employees' psychological and emotional states. A number of different tests have been developed which can asses a range of emotions and personality traits including stress, aggression, levels of risk taking and hazard awareness. Several police forces have also introduced psychometric testing as part of projects to or rehabilitate driving offenders. For example, Thames Valley Police run a speed awareness workshop that includes building a risk profile for the participant from the results of the video test and questionnaire. Results from the workshop have showed that people are likely to speed because of their emotional state, such as feeling angry or annoyed. More information about using psychometric testing to improve rod safety is available by visiting the charity's website at http://www.brake.org.uk/index.php?p=987.
