Guest Macnoz Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 The tendency towards accident proneness is a function of behavioral, attitudinal and personality factors, among others. This tests and summary result are free and just reflecting on the questions and the first thought that comes into your head is refreshing. Truth is I am only posting it here to get away from that stupid video link again again again again. Psychology Today: Self Tests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-man Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I don't think I'll post my score, but just what does that percentage mean? It is just one score of many (the only one divulged without payment) and I think it might be that the higher the score, the lower the chance of you stuffing up big time! Any comments?

Yenn Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I also got 83%, but that was a bit of a fluke. Firstly I have been retired for several years, so a lot of it was irrelevant. Secondly I worked for years in what was perceived to be a dangerous job, but was actually quite safe. Thirdly I have seen some ridiculous things done by safety experts, so I never trust their rules or advice. That way I have lived a safe life so far.

Deskpilot Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 PaleXXXX, were you really, really honest? :hittinghead::hittinghead: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pelorus32 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Well for what it's worth I was straight down the line and I scored 98%... That's even counting the serious accidents that I included. Maybe that accident is the reason I scored so highly. As a kid I rolled a tractor and was very nearly killed. I was also seriously injured on a drilling rig by a good mate. That mate had a very serious car accident a couple of weeks later and I had to help cut his body from the wreckage. It all adds up to a feeling of mortality and of care I suppose Nice find Macnoz. Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slartibartfast Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Who'd a thunk? Snapshot Report Attitudes towards safety 69 You seem to have a good attitude when it comes to following rules and laws that are in place for the express purpose of keeping people safe. You would probably tell a supervisor if you witnessed unsafe behavior, but may also try to deal with the problem yourself by speaking directly to the offender. You likely feel that accidents tend to be due to careless behavior of the employees rather than because of the employer or unforeseen circumstances. Scoring in this range means your attitude towards safety varies depending on the situation, but you tend to be cautious rather than laissez-faire. People's attitudes are usually expressed in their behavior, so these results indicate that you are likely someone who generally respects safety rules and regulations.

MrH Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I only got 67% but it seems to evaluate me accurately. I have to deal with large numbers freelance people regularily on a job in a semi unsafe enviroment. To me its all in the balance of what is sensible & what is OH&S nonsense "You seem to have a good attitude when it comes to following rules and laws that are in place for the express purpose of keeping people safe.

Chird65 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 71%. I'm not sure exactly if you got either 100% or 50% what type of personality you have.
