Table 7. Categories organizing the 48 tasks in the Assistance Preference Checklist. The first four categories listed are based on domain whereas the latter two are general. Tasks were grouped first by domain. If a task did not fit in a domain, then it was grouped into a general category. Categories are mutually exclusive in terms of task.
