Abstract

This work analyses the psychological assessment in traffic psychology focusing on the Expert System Traffic (EST), a computerized psychological assessment tool of the Vienna Test System. This tool includes various neuropsychological cognitive tasks (assessing attention, memory, visuomotor ability, etc.), some personality inventories (measuring aggressiveness, emotional stability, etc.), two scales of alcol assumption and risk taking behaviour in presence of dangerous conditions. The absence of cognitive deficits, aggressive personality traits and acting behaviours prone to risk taking in dangerous situations seems to be a crucial feature of driving ability. The EST is a very high standardized procedure. Furthermore, its ability to measure a complex and multifactorial behaviour like the driving ability, makes the EST the most valid assessment of driving-specific ability in the whole context of traffic psychology.
