This report provides procedures for setting up, administering, and scoring the Automobile Driver On-Road Performance Test (ADOPT). The ADOPT checks 21 separate driving performances. The ADOPT is primarily a measure of skill. While many of the performances checked do not require skill to perform (e.g., signaling, mirror checks), a high level of skill is required to perform them and maintain control of the vehicle at the same time. The ADOPT as a whole correlates approximately .5 with a measure of the vehicle handling skills.
