Abstract
The validity of the ASVAB subtests and composites for grades in 150 military technical schools was investigated. Across all jobs and within the job categories of Mechanical, Administrative, General, and Electronics, after correction for range restriction, Arithmetic Reasoning was found to be the most valid subtest. Across all jobs and within the job categories, the Electronics composite or the General composite was the most valid composite.Keywords
