Fallout – What’s the best room to assign dwellers to

fallout-shelter

I have a quest that requires me to assign 15 dwellers to the right room for them, and I seem to be stuck at 9. I don't have access to all possible rooms yet, so that may be a part of my problem, but in general…

Is there a way to tell which room a dweller will like best short of assigning them to random rooms to see which sticks?

I tried going by the highest SPECIAL score, but that doesn't seem to work.

I was stuck on this quest too. What solved it for me was assigning new dwellers to the job that uses their highest SPECIAL stat. I had existing dwellers already working in their optimal room, but these were not counted and didn't increase the X out of 15 even if I assigned them to a different room and back to the optimal room or if I moved them to a different optimal room of the same stat (like a different power plant for a strong dweller).

Dwellers that grew up from children and new arrivals from the wasteland did increment the X out of 15 when I assigned them to the room using their highest SPECIAL stat.
