One parameter that I feel is missing is horsepower. In any case I have friends and family members with obvious psychopathic tendencies and while a fraction of them is ineed reckless as drivers, the majority is actually exceptionally cautious.
To infer that a self-reported psychopathy test is somehow indicative of mental disease and to further infer that this directly translates into driving style is ludicrous and doesn't pass several simple smell tests.
One commenter mentioned horsepower, and they may be onto something. Certainly a better prediction than a simple quiz, which might as well be a horoscope or something.
"Gold" tops the list of car colours correlated with psycho behaviour, and I thought, well, that makes sense - but then the one at the very bottom is "red". I'm having trouble arranging this into some consistent mental image of the correlation.
Why would Benzes be so behind BMW and Audi? I’d prefer if they focused on sociopathy and narcissism versus psychopathy since I don’t feel like psychopaths are as common as the other two. Someone please do this study with programming languages, I have my suspicions.
Stereotypically, Merc buyers won't brag about their 0-60 times, while BMW/Audi buyers would. Merc has been trying to target that market though, e.g. with their A class (beginning from the 3rd gen, the 1st and 2nd gen were probably targetting old ladies...).
I can almost guarantee it's either a BMW or an Audi that's one inch behind me on the motorway. So strange how universally true this is.
