The brand of car you drive says something about your tendency to exhibit psychopathic traits. This is evident from a fun study conducted by the British car site ScrapCarComparison. Two German brands are not doing so well.
The study involved 2,000 British drivers. They had to indicate the make and color of their car and whether or not they had a personalized license plate. They then had to complete a questionnaire that assessed their tendency to exhibit psychopathic traits. On this basis, an average psychopathy score was calculated per car brand, car color and type of license plate.
Drivers of BMWs scored highest on the psychopath test (12.1), closely followed by drivers of Audis (11.7). Fiat (7.0), Mazda (6.4) and Honda (6.3) complete the top five. Skoda drivers can then submit the best result for the test (3.2).
The color of your car also says something, according to the research. Drivers of cars with a gold color are most likely to exhibit psychopathic traits (12.7), followed by brown (12.2) and green (8.5). Drivers of red cars are at the other end of the spectrum (4.9).
Finally, a link was also sought between having a personalized license plate and psychopathic traits. Anyone with a personalized number plate scores an average of 13.8 on the test, while someone with a regular number plate scores 5.3.
To be clear: anyone who scores between 0 and 18 on the psychopathy test is not a psychopath, but the higher your score, the more traits you have. Only from a score of 19 does it exist that you really are a psychopath. From a score of 27 this is even likely.
