Notes[]
Due to a scripting issue, the scripted scene of Katy explaining the G.O.A.T. to the children in her classroom in the presence of the player character, does not play as intended. This is due to it running once and the quest script ending with Katy going to bed, meaning it ends before the player character enters the Vault.
Notable quotes[]
"You're that new traveler. You must have had so many adventures out in the Commonwealth."

Katy Pinn: "All right, children, today we're going to talk about the G.O.A.T. Who here can tell me what G.O.A.T. stands for?"
Erin Combes: "Generalized Occupational Attitude Test?"
Katy Pinn: "Very close, Erin. It's the Generalized Occupational Aptitude Test. The G.O.A.T. is used to determine what your best skillsets are and assign you the appropriate career within the Vault."
Austin Engill: "What if we don't like it? I don't want be stuck doing security or anything."
Katy Pinn: "If you don't like your results, you'll have to take it up with the Overseer when the time comes. Lucky for all of you, the G.O.A.T. isn't given until you're 16 years of age. Now here are some example images that you'll be shown."
Austin Engill: "Ew."
Katy Pinn: "Each image is associated with a question and will have four answers to choose from. The image you're shown presents a situation, and each of the answers is a reaction. For example. This image was used in previous tests to ask which position you'd prefer. Pitcher, Catcher, Designated Hitter, or None. You wish the Vault had a soccer team. Your results are then fed into the computer to calculate your appropriate career."
Erin Combes: "We don't even have real sports here."
Katy Pinn: "It's ok, Erin. You'll choose the answer based on how you feel. Use instinct and be as honest as possible. Otherwise, that's a sure way to end up in an occupation that's not suitable for you. Any questions?"
Erin Combes: "Did the G.O.A.T. say you should be a teacher, Miss Pinn?"
Katy Pinn: "Yes, it did. And I feel very lucky to be teaching all of you today."
Austin Engill: "What if we don't want to stay in the Vault?"
Katy Pinn: "Well, unfortunately the G.O.A.T. only designates careers within the Vault itself. If you'd like to pursue something outside of the Vault, you'd want to discuss that with the Overseer."
Austin Engill: "Aw, she'd never let me go."
Katy Pinn: "Give it time. You still have six years to take the test. A lot can change between then and now."
