This is a three-column form that helps differentiate between activities an individual dislikes, is neutral toward, and likes. When identifying activities be as descriptive and specific as possible to help discriminate among preferred and less preferred activities (e.g., watching movies or credits is more descriptive than watching television and both activities may differ in level of preference). When utilizing the activities listed, generally red (i.e., least preferred) activities are followed by green (i.e., preferred) activities and green are followed by yellow (i.e., indifferent) or green to ease the transitions between activities.
