Genuine question: is is possible some selection bias is at play if only people interested in that given career will undergo this testing?

There are all kinds of biases involved, but the ASVAB has been normalized against a (the?) general population of high school students.

I think that the ASVAB was designed as a job-choice tool is more of a problem than that it was designed as a military job-choice tool.
