This is a computer-assisted interview program for the AI.  The AI is organized into 3 activity Objectives (Daily Living, Social Interaction, and Recreation), 50 activity Goals, and 459 activity Tasks.  First the patient is asked to rate the importance of the Goal on a 4-point scale ranging from "not important" to "very important".  If the patient rates the Goal as "not important", the program moves on to the next Goal, otherwise the patient is asked to rate the difficulty of the Goal on a 5-point scale ranging from "not difficult" to "impossible to do without someone else's help".  If the patient responds "not difficult", the program moves on to the next Goal, otherwise the patient is asked to rate the difficulty of Tasks that are subsidiary to the Goal on the same 5-point difficulty scale.
