As noted by "Za Rulem," during maneuvering and parking, the choice of space does not always depend on objective criteria.
Thus, drivers act based on individual habits and considerations, which allows conclusions to be drawn about their personal qualities. Here are some conclusions presented in the study:
Backing into a parking space may indicate a tendency towards planning and strategic thinking, as well as a willingness to make efforts for future convenience;
Parking over the lines is not always a manifestation of rudeness; it can be a sign of stress and emotional fatigue;
A "perfect" parking job after several attempts may indicate perfectionism, which is often observed in programmers, designers, and accountants;
The desire to park as close to the store entrance as possible may reflect a psychological need for a symbolic victory;
Parking next to another car in an empty parking lot may be a manifestation of herd instinct, a desire for "survival," and maintaining group identity.
Interestingly, the stereotype of low parking skills among women was debunked in 2012 by the British company NCP (National Car Parks), which conducted a study among 2,500 drivers, as reported by the source.
