About This Quiz

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test (ASVAB) is a test that was created in 1968 with the intention that soldiers should excel both mentally and physically. The uniqueness of this test versus scholastic tests is that it covers an entire life's worth of knowledge. Naturally, you'll be tested on your educational knowledge, then you'll be quizzed on your ability to comprehend and use context clues to make assumptions. Finally, you'll get a sample of mechanical comprehension questions and more physical obstacle problem solving.

After taking this sample ASVAB test, you'll get an idea whether your strength lies in science, electronics or other fields. You'll know whether you have an uncanny ability to use the right word at the right time or superior arithmetic reasoning abilities. But what's most important is that your interest in the ASVAB means you have a passion to serve this country. Your contribution to the protection of our nation, and your bravery deserves everyone's respect and admiration. Whether your interest lies in joining the Army, Navy, Marines or Air Force, take this quiz now and see how and in what area you'll excel in as a soldier. You'll be dismissed once you take the quiz.
