Creators of numerous information systems frequently concentrate on the semantic aspects of communication during planning and forming of man-machine interactions. Meanwhile emotions and adequate reactions to needs play equally essential role as rational reasoning when intelligence of a partner is judged. Intelligent behaviours and reactions usually deliberately affect the partner’s needs. Therefore a computer could be accepted as an intelligent partner if it considers human needs affecting emotions. This paper presents a new method of automatic human needs recognition based on the extended personality typology that is described using characteristic verbal expressions. It enables to perform automatic passive classification of personality by means of psycholinguistic analysis during typical merit man-machine communication.
