About This Quiz
Whether you are thinking of enlisting or you're already serving in the Navy, you are sure to have a rank in mind. You know how hard you work and you know where you want to go in life. It only makes sense that you think you know which rank you deserve. Does your idea of a rank match up with the Navy's, though?ÂÂ
The ASVAB can assess where you should start out in the Navy, but it cannot tell you which rank you could earn. During this quiz, we're going to take things a step further by examining your skills and your personality. Do you have what it takes to rise to the rank of admiral, or are you going to be an ensign for the rest of your days? Share the way you react and the things you can do with us, and we'll let you know if you're on the right track.
Can you fix your commanding officer's computer? Do you get angry when your plans are changed? Fill us in with questions like these, and we'll place you in the highest rank you could handle. Your service to your country is valuable enough, but will your deserved rank mean even more to you? Answer these questions, and you'll find out just how high you can fly.ÂÂ
