Psychological Assessment
Psychological assessments are conducted to check and evaluate the psychological fitness of the individual being assessed. The assessment measures whether the candidate’s qualities meet the requirements for the desired vehicle category—C, C1, D, D1—or the professional group of taxi drivers. Based on this psychological evaluation, a prognosis of the candidate’s psychological fitness is made, which remains valid for three years from the date of the assessment.
The psychological assessment is required for the following vehicle operators:
- For acquiring categories C, D, and subcategories C1 and D1, trolleybus (Ttб), tram (Ttm).
- For acquiring a license after a driving license has been revoked due to loss of points (Article 157, Para. 4 of the Road Traffic Act).
- For taxi drivers.
- For professional drivers of passenger or cargo transport vehicles.
- When a driving license has been temporarily revoked as per Article 171, Item 1, Letter "a" of the Road Traffic Act.
- For drivers who have been deprived of the right to drive based on Article 174, Para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act or Article 343 of the Criminal Code.
- For long-term foreign residents in Bulgaria and Bulgarian citizens with a foreign driving license, when their foreign license is replaced with a Bulgarian one as per Article 162, Para. 4 of the Road Traffic Act.
Stages of the Assessment
The psychological assessment is conducted in three stages. Before each stage, the psychologist provides detailed instructions and familiarizes the examinees with the procedures.
Part I – Test Phase
1. The candidate completes test forms within a set time limit, assessing perception, attention, vigilance, memory, and thinking.
2. The candidate completes questionnaires that assess self-control, discipline, responsibility, self-esteem, and other related traits.
Part II – Individual Work with Equipment
Reactions are tested using equipment that provides light and sound signals. Before the test begins, the examinee has the opportunity to practice, receiving a set of stimuli from the psychologist.
Part III – Individual Conversation with the Psychologist
A free-form conversation with the psychologist to gather additional information about the qualities needed for the relevant category or professional group.
