Instead of vs. Rather than

Hi,

GMAT poses a lot ques. on Instead of vs. Rather than.
What is the exact rule to follow, though I get most such problems correct but I am not aware of a general rule.
Plz help.

Should the items being compared be parallel?

"Instead of " is used to replace person,thing or action.

"Rather than" is used to show preference.
