GOAT



The Generalized Occupational Aptitude Test (G.O.A.T.), is an occupational assessment test that every resident of Vault 101 is required to take at the age of 16. During the tutorial quest, the G.O.A.T. serves to mark the player's tagged skills.

Gameplay
During the quest "Future Imperfect" in Fallout 3, the player participates in a G.O.A.T. The test consists of a sequence of questions about how he or she would act in certain situations. The responses to these questions determine the job the Lone Wanderer is best suited for and which three skills are recommended for him or her to tag.

You can skip the entire test by talking to Mr. Brotch and telling him you don't want to take the test. Then you can skip the "presentation", pick your tag skills and leave right after. If you opt to do this, you will not receive the G.O.A.T. Whisperer achievement.

Questions

The version that appears on the Prepare for the Future website (Channel 5) only has questions #2, #5, and #7.

Results
The results are determined by a very simple formula: Each of the above questions (minus #10 obviously) adds 1 "point" towards the skill it represents. The skill with the most "points" at the end of the test is your result.

The results are as follows:

Vault Chaplain "They say the G.O.A.T never lies. According to this, you're slated to be the next vault ... Chaplain. God help us all." Laundry Cannon Operator "Well according to this, you're in line to be trained as a laundry cannon operator. First time for everything indeed." Pedicurist "It's nice to know I can still be surprised. Pedicurist! I might have guessed Manicurist, or even Masseuse. But apparently you're a foot person" Waste Management Specialist "It says here you're perfectly suited for a career as a Waste Management Specialist. A specialist, mind you, not just a dabbler. Congratulations!" Vault Loyalty Inspector "Huh. "Vault Loyalty Inspector"... I thought that had been phased out decades ago. Well, sounds like a job right up your alley, hmm?" Clinical Test Subject "Interesting. "Clinical Test Subject"... sounds like something you should excel at. I guess you and your dad will be working together." Fry Cook "Looks like the diner's going to get a new Fry Cook. I'll just say this once: hold the mustard, extra pickles. Ha ha ha." Jukebox Technician "Thank goodness. We're finally getting a new Jukebox Technician. That thing hasn't worked right since old Joe Palmer passed." Pip-Boy Programmer "Well, well. Pip-Boy Programmer, eh? Stanley will finally have someone to talk shop with." Tattoo Artist "Huh. I wonder who will be brave enough to be your first customer as the vault's new Tattoo Artist? I promise it won't be me." Shift Supervisor "Apparently you're management material. You're going to be trained as a Shift Supervisor. Could I be talking to the next Overseer? Stranger things have happened." Marriage Counselor "Wow. Wow. Says here you're going to be the vault's Marriage Counselor. Almost makes me want to get married, just to be able to avail myself of your services." Little League Coach "I always thought you'd have a career in professional sports. You're the new vault Little League coach! Congratulations."

Appearances
The G.O.A.T. only appears in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * Occasionally, the G.O.A.T will not start when sitting down, standing up and sitting down again.
 * Occasionally just before the G.O.A.T when Mr Brotch tells Butch to "keep his eyes to himself" and Butch laughs, the dialogue will stop here and you cannot leave your seat (confirmed PC, PS3 and 360). This glitch only occurs when you sit in the second row seat on the right side of the classroom.
 * If you jump on the desk at the front of the classroom, you can get stuck and have to reload the game (And do all of the G.O.A.T again)
