TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Development of a short test for accident proneness JO - Perceptual and motor skills A1 - Matsuoka, H. SP - 903 EP - 906 VL - 85 IS - 3 N2 - In developing the Accident Proneness Prediction Test to measure motor control skills related to safety aptitudes subjects were instructed to draw on a sheet of paper as many circles as possible within a limited amount of time. The responses were scored in terms of the speed and quality (irregularities) of the produced circles. Although 103 accident-prone drivers produced more circles than the 178 good drivers, the quality of performance of the accident-prone drivers was poorer than that of the good drivers. Based on this validity study, we proposed these predictive criteria for further testing of accident proneness.
