You’re SPECIAL!

You’re SPECIAL! is a book published and written for children by Vault-Tec. This book identifies the seven key attributes that are viewed the most desirable in a vault resident. The attributes are as follows in order: Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck (S.P.E.C.I.A.L.). Each of the attributes are given a brief description:
 

• “S is for Strength, and that means I am strong! I can carry lots of toys and swing stuff all day long!”
• “P is for Perception, a long funny word! It means what I tasted, smell, saw and heard!”
• “E is for Endurance, and that’s how long I can play! I’m always really healthy, and have energy all day!”
• “C is for Charisma, it’s why people think I’m great! I make my friends all laugh and smile, and never want to hate!”
• “I is for Intelligence, it means I’m really smart! I use my brain for lots of stuff, like science, math and art!”
• “A is for Agility, that’s how I get around! I move real fast and easy, and I never make a sound!”
• “L is for Luck, and it’s simple, you see! It means that good things always happen to me!”
