Go to Dr. Leon James' Pedestrian Psychology and Safety site, and assess yourself against the Pedestrian Aggressiveness Syndrome Scale (PASS). You'll have to scroll down the page a little. The research shows that the pedestrian aggressiveness syndrome is made of 15 pedestrian behaviors. This Scale can indicate how aggressive you are as a pedestrian and what type of pedestrian personality makeover you need. Ask yourself how many of these bad pedestrian behaviors apply to you on a regular basis.
