Scores on the visual search test showed highest correlation with IQ among the measures utilized (r=0.35, p<0.01). However, the scores for visual search test did not show significant correlation with other tests except <span style="LETTER-SPACING: -0.2pt">for response errors in continuous performance test (r=0.24,</span> p<0.001), and perseveration errors in Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (r=0.22 p<0.05). Age showed a positive and significant correlation with IQ scores (r=0.39, p=<0.001), response errors in continuous performance test (r=0.38, p=0.001) and reaction time for visual search test (r=0.23, p=0.05). <b><u>Conclusion</u>:</b> Neuropsychological tests can diffe-rentiate accident-prone from safe drivers. However, regarding the limitation in the validation of this tool, one should be careful in generalizing the results. <p></p></span></font></p>
