About the ASVAB Shop Information Test
The ASVAB Shop Information test is part of the computerized CAT version of the ASVAB. On the paper and pencil version of the test, Shop Information is combined with Automotive Information into one Auto and Shop Information section.
This portion of the ASVAB is designed to quiz your knowledge of common shop tools, materials, measuring devices, safety practices, and basic repair or construction tasks. Questions may cover topics like hand tools, power tools, screws and bolts, saws, drill bits, metalworking, woodworking, and general shop procedures.
The computerized version of the Shop Information test has 10 questions and is typically timed separately from the Auto Information section. The paper and pencil version combines Auto and Shop Information into one section with 25 total questions.
The aptitude test is designed to assess how familiar you are with practical shop concepts and hands-on work. The military values this type of knowledge because many jobs involve equipment maintenance, repair work, construction, technical systems, and mechanical problem-solving.
If you are interested in working in a military job related to mechanics, construction, maintenance, engineering support, or technical repair, doing well on this section of the ASVAB can be helpful. A strong score may support your qualifications for jobs that require practical knowledge of tools, materials, and shop procedures.
