A study confirms what we knew all along:
New study reveals BMW drivers most likely to be “psychopaths”
A new study by Scrap Car Comparison has revealed that BMW drivers are most likely to be psychopaths, in addition to those that drive electric cars or have personalised number plates.
The research tasked 2 000 drivers of varying car makes and model to complete the ‘Psychopath Test’- a twelve-question survey that is able to define where a person falls on the psychopathy scale, and therefore how likely they are to exhibit abnormal, anti-social behaviour. Ranked on a scale of zero (no psychopathy) to 36 (psychopathy likely) the average score across all participants was 6,6.
Scoring almost double the national average, BMW drivers ranked the highest on the psychopathy scale, with an average score of 12,1 out of 36, while Audi drivers were narrowly behind, scoring 11,7. Owners of both of the German car manufacturers have long had a reputation for being temperamental out on the roads, and the findings suggest that these drivers may be more likely to exhibit psychopathic traits such as superficial charm, grandiose sense of self-worth, and a lack of remorse or guilt.
