[edit] Testing for officers
Isnt the required score to join the air force 36?
The airforce personnel Center has a report builder tool for demographics reports:
I see the AFWT as a report category for enlisted men, but I do not see it for officers. Is this test used uniformly to place all armed forces personnel or only enlisted men?

The ASVAB is not an IQ test. That is an important point. You may have a very high IQ, but be poorly educated and thus score poorly on the ASVAB. Rather, it is a test of academics (paragraph comprehension, arithmetic reasoning, word knowlege, et cetera), with a time constraint element to it (i.e., the different tests are timed. For example, you may have only 15 minutes to answer a series of math questions, and so on).
Is it only an IQ test, or does it also measure skills acquired, psycological factors, amd other measures of potential success/failure probabilities.
Where is Navy explained? and what is VE on the standard scores? Are the standard scores percentiles? Navy: what are ENG, ADM, GT, Mec, HM, Mec2, EL, Nuc, Bee, Ops?
