Korean Civil Servant Fitness Standard vs National Average
Korean police and firefighter fitness tests set standards well above the national average. This tool lets you instantly see where your scores fall — above the civil servant standard, above the national average but below the civil servant bar, or below average altogether.
Average values are drawn from the Korean National Fitness Survey (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism). The civil servant standard uses the police 3rd-grade pass threshold as a reference.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the civil servant standard much harder than the national average?
Yes — typically 1.5–2× higher than the national average for the same age group, especially for running and push-ups.
Does passing the standard guarantee being hired?
No. The fitness test is one part of the hiring process. Written exams, interviews, and medical checks are also required.
