ASVAB Score to IQ Conversion Formula

The conversion formula used in the ASVAB Score to IQ conversion is:

IQ = (ASVAB score × 0.59) + 40

Let’s break down the formula:

• The multiplier 0.59 scales the ASVAB score to the IQ range.
• Adding 40 shifts the result to align with typical IQ distributions.

An ASVAB score of 90 would translate to an estimated IQ of: (90 × 0.59) + 40 = 93.1

How to Convert ASVAB to IQ?

To convert an ASVAB score to an estimated IQ:

• Take the ASVAB score
• Multiply it by 0.59
• Add 40 to the result

For an ASVAB score of 65:

65 × 0.59 = 38.35

38.35 + 40 = 78.35

An ASVAB score of 65 corresponds to an estimated IQ of about 78.

What ASVAB Score is Needed for Intelligence?

• Scores above 50 are considered above average
• Scores above 70 are considered well above average

There’s no specific ASVAB score that definitively indicates intelligence. The test measures a range of abilities, and different military roles require different score thresholds.

A score of 80 might indicate strong cognitive abilities across various domains, but it doesn’t guarantee a specific IQ level.

How Good is a 72 ASVAB Score?

A score of 72 on the ASVAB is considered quite good. It places the test-taker in the above-average range and opens up many military career opportunities.

Using our conversion formula: 72 × 0.59 + 40 = 82.48

This translates to an estimated IQ of about 82, which is within the normal range.
