ASVAB Score to IQ Calculator

The ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) is used by the military to determine qualification for enlistment and job placement. While it’s not designed as an IQ test, there’s a rough correlation between ASVAB scores and IQ, though results can vary. This calculator provides an approximate IQ based on your ASVAB score using the following formula:

Conversion Formula

\[ \text{IQ} = (\text{ASVAB Score} - 50) \times 2 + 85 \]

Example Calculation

If your ASVAB score is 60:

\[ \text{IQ} = (60 - 50) \times 2 + 85 = 105 \]

Importance and Usage

While this formula gives a rough estimate, IQ and ASVAB scores measure different cognitive abilities. Use this calculator for an informal estimate, but keep in mind that standardized IQ tests offer more accurate measurements.
