Abstract

The present study aims to identify personality features differences between risky and ordinary drivers. In doing so, 120 drivers (60 risky drivers, 60 ordinary ones) were chosen in a simple random sampling way in Tehran and were tested through Neo Personality test. The results indicate a significant difference among personality features of risky and ordinary drivers in all five indexes of neo test, including (1) Neuroticism, (2) Extraversion, (3) Openness to experience, (4) Agreeableness, and (5) Consciousness. In fact, indexes average of neuroticism and extraversion were more considerable with risky drivers than ordinary ones. Also, indexes average of openness to experience, agreeableness, and consciousness were less among risky drivers.
