19 out of 120. Seems too low to me. Don't understand the weighting because I dont suffer fools on the road gladly and I barely hold with a speed limit if outside built up areas. |

I got an 89 but it was the fault of those @^$%$#^^@& I have to drive with everyday!!!!! I vote for grinding up the bones of every driver that doesn't have a Ferrari so the roads will be clear for those of us with nice cars I live with all the geriatrics in Australia and it seems they think it is OK to drive as badly as they do coz I think they want to take someone with them when they kick the bucket!! Can't speed here coz those lazy fat-a$$ed cops leave the fines to the speed cameras while they sit on their fat tush sucking coffee !! Think I've had a few too many tickets  |

My score is 5,2,0,1. I'm sure my wife would score higher and she never gets tickets. I'm sure that 10 years ago I would have scored much higher. I've gained a lot of patience with my graying hair. Dave |

I became so angry and frustrated by the intricacy and extensive nature of the test that I brutally ripped the keyboard off the computer and chunked it into the garbage can where it belongs! GGGRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! No problems here. |

That test was ridiculous!! I scored a 9! I routinely drive 100+ everyday. I am apparantly a fast driver...but not aggressive. I just take for granted that everyone that drives in the US isn't paying attention, has no clue and take it from there. There's no point in getting mad at them.....I just gooooooo! Ahh.... to drive in Europe....where the driver's have to do more than spell their name and see over the dashboard to get a license!!! |

Since I believe it is my birth right to drive fast since I am of German lineage the scores do not surprise me.And not to start a license frame debate but mine reads : "Never bring a knife to a gun fight ....2 amendment" Thankfully I'm starting to mellow a bit now that I'm a family man. But we still take two cars when we go anywhere because I truly hate being a passenger, and my Aunt who is a judge here in Ca advises against having my boys in the car when I am driving . Anger High 22 Impatience High 23 Competing High 24 Punishing High 24 YOUR TOTAL SCORE is 93 out of a possible 120. |

This test is a study in shades of grey. I drive like an old lady 90% of the time and alone in the right spot I drive like I'm in a race. I never compete on a public road with strangers yet race my brother-in-law in his NSX all the time when the conditions are right. Yet even then we naturally suspend the competion when an odd car shows up. I got a 26 overall. |

Anger - 5 Impatience - 11 Competing - 4 Punishing - 10 Total - 30 Wow. I thought I was the poster child for road rage. The problem with this quiz is that they apparently give the same weighting to all questions. i.e. Answering "always" to "Would you shoot the driver ahead of you?" shouldn't carry the same weight as "Gee, I sometimes get upset." In my case, I answered affirmative to some of the more serious questions, and "Never" to most of the inoccuous ones. |

I must be more mellow in traffic than any of you. I got a total of 6. Registered a 5 on anger and 1 on punishing. If I were 12 years younger, I'd probably register 80+. Leaving spirited driving on the backroads away from traffic is the only way to go. |

Oh yeah, i dont get angry either, if the anger catagory was switched with "annoyed/dissapointed in how dumb people are" it would be more accurate. |

Come on, none of you are competitve? I dont mean fast and the furious competitve though. If theres one thing high school football has taught me its to be cometitve and a little bit cocky. I just dont do anything stupid. thats why i put an always for the question "do you compete with yourself." I was taught to accept nothing less than my best! |

Looks like we've got a bunch of highstrung folks here! I scored Anger - Low - 4 Impatience - Low - 3 Competing - Low - 1 Punishing - Moderate - 6 My only real anger/impatience is with formation drivers - those cars in both lanes that decide they want to go below the speed limit yet are in formation such that you can't pass either one. |

I scored a 9 but the tests are skewed by the questions. I don't think I ever get "angry" at another driver but thinking they should have spent more time learning to drive is a common thought. A difference in view? To me yes, to the pacifist...probably not. |

Martin, wouldn't you agree it's better to complain to your passengers, than to take it out on another driver? My scores were low, 8-2-0-4, but I seriously doubt that problematic drivers are logging onto AAA's site to take the quiz. |

Take this AAA test to find out http://www.aaafoundation.org/quizzes/index.cfm?button=aggressive results for me were: Anger- Moderate- 12 Impatience- High- 19 Competing- High- 23 Punishing- High- 20 Total score- 74 out of 120 I dont think this test is indicative of my driving style. I dont do anything stupid or take dumb risks. If everyone drove like me there would be fewer accidents, no one would have road rage, and peeople would get to where they have to go alot faster, not that i speed excessively, the traffic would just flow better. For example, have you ever noticed those idiots who practically stop on highway on-ramps? If they were going the same speed or faster than those on the highway, merging wouldnt be a problem. |
