The number of "close-calls" a pilot has experienced
may be a predictor of later involvement in a more serious accident.
Simply put, pilots who are exposed to a lot of hazardous events, whether
it's their fault or not, eventually run out of luck and bend some metal
(or themselves).
Your responses to this 10-item evaluation can be compared to the responses
of thousands of pilots to see if you are above or below average in your
risk exposure.
