*by standard I mean those tests that are appropriate for you. So blood sample tests, urine sample tests, plus extra whatever is related to your age, gender, condition etc. (e.g. breast cancer tests for women over certain age etc.)

"I'm required to" is an option for people who perform jobs that involve frequent medical tests.
"On my own" is an option for people who initiate the tests by themselves, by going to a doctor/clinic and asking for them to be performed.

Last time was when I was required to for my teaching job. Except for the simple tests they did when I was feeling sick. Otherwise, never.

Twice or more... required, but then its a condition of the regular tests I'm part of as part of my condition :)

Hardly ever, since I turned 18 have I been to 3 "standard medical tests" and 2 of those was when I did my national service...

Once per year, when I'm employed. It's part of the annual health tests done through the employers, and are voluntary for the workers, but started by them.

Not sure any of these apply. I get my weight and blood pressure done when I go for secret lady things, and I get called up every two years for even secreter lady tests. I don't ask for these, they're just standard. I never go and get a full range of blood tests or whatever just as a check-up.

Breaking news, Mart is a hypochondriac :P

I go to the dentist once a year as that's required by my health insurance. Other than that, I haven't been at a doctor without reason for a long time.

If only  <_< You need to be disabled to get those..:p

In reality though I am thankful it hasn't progressed to that yet, nor will do so in a foreseeable future *knock on wood*
