• The ideal Form (Form I) measures people’s preferences about an ideal family environment.
• The Expectations Form (Form E) measures people’s expectations about family settings

All three FES forms (Form R, Form I, and Form E) use the same answer sheet, scoring key, and profile form.

• The Family Social Integration Index, another 27-item index, is the sum of the Intellectual-Cultural Orientation, Active-Recreational Orientation, and Moral-Religious Emphasis subscales.
