Required documents

• Driver's License

  You must have your driver's license with you before your psychotechnical assessment. Your information will be verified during the application and registration process.

• Turkish National Identity Card

  You must bring your valid Turkish National Identity Card (T.C. Kimlik Kartı) to complete the identity verification process. Foreign drivers who do not have a Turkish National Identity Card may apply for a psychotechnical assessment using a valid identification document or residence permit.

• Traffic Violation Report (If Applicable)

  If you need a psychotechnical assessment report for the reinstatement of your driver's license or a similar reason, it is recommended that you bring the relevant traffic violation report issued by the appropriate authorities or police department. These documents may help ensure a faster and smoother application process.

Things to Consider Before the Test

• Get Enough Sleep

  To ensure that your attention, perception, and reaction time are accurately assessed during the psychotechnical test, it is important to arrive well-rested. Getting sufficient, quality sleep the night before the test is recommended.

• Avoid Distractions and Impairing Substances

  Avoid alcohol and other substances that may affect your performance during the test. If you are taking medication that may affect your attention or reaction time, it is important to follow the advice of your healthcare professional before the assessment.

• Arrive Well-Rested for Your Assessment

  Physical or mental fatigue can affect your attention and reaction time during the psychotechnical assessment. Therefore, we recommend visiting our psychotechnical assessment center in Izmit when you are well-rested and feel ready to take the test.

• Bring Your Reading Glasses If You Use Them

  If you use reading glasses in your daily life, it is important to bring them with you, as you may need them during the psychotechnical assessment.

Process steps

1. Sustained Attention Test

   This test evaluates the driver's ability to maintain attention over a period of time and identify important stimuli among repetitive signals. Maintaining concentration during prolonged driving is an essential aspect of road safety.

2. Selective Attention Test

   This test measures the driver's ability to focus on relevant information and distinguish important visual stimuli from distractions in an environment with multiple visual elements. This assessment is particularly important for quickly recognizing critical signals in heavy traffic conditions.

3. Visual Perception and Memory Test

   This test evaluates the driver's ability to perceive, distinguish, and recall shapes, objects, and visual information within a short period of time. Accurately recognizing traffic signs, road conditions, and changes in the surrounding environment is one of the fundamental aspects of safe driving.

4. Reasoning Test

   This test evaluates the driver's ability to establish connections between different pieces of information, assess the current situation, and reach appropriate conclusions. Reasoning skills are essential for making sound decisions in response to changing traffic conditions and anticipating potential risks.

5. Coordination Test

   This test evaluates the driver's ability to coordinate hand, eye, and motor movements in response to visual stimuli. Coordination plays a vital role in various driving activities, such as steering control, pedal operation, and responding simultaneously to environmental stimuli.

6. Speed and Distance Estimation Test

   This test measures the driver's ability to accurately estimate the speed of moving vehicles or objects and the distances between them. Speed and distance perception are essential for maintaining safe following distances, making overtaking decisions, and positioning the vehicle safely in traffic.

7. Time-to-Collision Estimation Test

   This test evaluates the driver's ability to estimate how long it will take for a moving object to reach a specific point. This skill is particularly relevant in traffic situations such as navigating intersections, assessing distances between vehicles, and anticipating potential hazards.

8. Reaction Time Test

   This test evaluates how quickly and accurately a driver can respond to sudden or unexpected stimuli. Responding promptly to unexpected situations in traffic is essential for safe driving.

9. Peripheral Vision Test

   This test evaluates the driver's ability to detect movements and stimuli outside their direct field of vision. Peripheral vision is an important driving skill for noticing vehicles approaching from side roads, pedestrians, and movements in the surrounding environment.

10. Traffic Visual Perception Test

    This test evaluates the driver's ability to perceive, assess, and interpret visual information in traffic situations. Accurately interpreting traffic signs, the movements of other vehicles, road conditions, and environmental factors is an essential part of safe driving behavior.

11. Personality Tests

    Psychotechnical assessments involve more than just attention, perception, and motor skills. Personality assessments are also conducted to evaluate drivers' behavioral tendencies in traffic situations. • Driver Sensation Seeking Inventory This inventory helps assess the driver's tendencies toward sensation-seeking, risk-taking, and engaging in highly stimulating situations. The aim is to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of individual tendencies that may influence driving behavior. • Short Driver Behavior Scale This scale evaluates the driver's behavioral patterns and driving habits in traffic situations. It aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of behavioral tendencies that may emerge while driving, as part of the overall psychotechnical evaluation.
