Abstract:

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery ASVAB is a multiple- choice test battery administered to all applicants for active-duty and reserve enlistment in the United States Armed Services. In Addition, it is administered to approximately one million students each year as part of the Department of Defense DoD Student Testing Program. The battery consists of the ten subtests listed in Table 1. In addition, Verbal VE--which is the two subtests, Word Knowledge WK and Paragraph Comprehension PC-- is treated like a separate subtest in many analyses and applications. Various combinations of the subtest standard scores form composites that are used DoD and the Services for determining eligibility for enlistment and for classification into military occupations
