Question: What test do I take to qualify for a linguist job?
Answer: All of the military services use the same test to determine whether or not a person has an aptitude for learning a foreign language. The test is known as the Defense Language Aptitude Battery, or DLAB.

For complete information about the DLAB, see our Defense Language Aptitude Battery article.
