AFQT. FY 1997 Selected Reserve NPS
accessions are compared with civilian youth by AFQT category, gender, and Reserve Components in Table 5.7. The percentage of Reserve male recruits who scored in AFQT Categories I to IIIA was greater than for their
civilian counterparts (61 versus 54 percent). Seventy-one to 80 percent of USAR, USMCR, ANG, and USAFR NPS male accessions were in AFQT Categories I through IIIA, compared to 54 percent in the civilian
group. Fifty-four percent of ARNG NPS male recruits scored in AFQT Categories I through IIIA, equal to the civilian group. The differences between scores of female recruits and their comparable
civilian group were similar to male accessions; however, the ARNG did have more NPS female recruits scoring in AFQT Categories I through IIIA than their comparable civilian group (5 percentage points more).
