PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF INTELLIGENCE AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MODELLING

Preliminaries

Communication with machines has become common and daily. It takes place through various man-machine interfaces that use menus, dialog boxes, or form elements such as checkboxes, radios, switches, selections, text-boxes, and buttons. Sometimes interfaces employ more advanced algorithms such as voice recognition and synthesis or natural language analysis and statement construction. Computers are used to deliver, forward, process, and store various kinds of data that have informative value both for people and computers which change their reactions and state after the read and processed data [1]. Nowadays we expect that computers will act and react still more and more humanlike and intelligently. ‘Intelligent’ means not only accurate, precise, efficient, deliberately using knowledge, and goal-oriented but also considering the context of needs of interacting partners. This paper focuses on automatic recognition of human needs according to the topology of personality – a list of human needs allocated to various personality types – by means of psycholinguistic analysis of text written or spoken by any analyzed person without the need to ask that person to describe his or her personality. Psycholinguistic analysis can be carried out automatically during interaction, chat, e-mail processing, or observation of human action when using the computer or surfing the web. The main challenge is to recognize individual human needs and adjust the corresponding machine routines and reactions to make the man-machine interaction pleasant, satisfactory, appropriate, and deliberate in view of these needs. Modern intelligent machines should know and understand individual human needs to cooperate with people more efficiently and supply them more adequately with what they need. They should automatically personalize websites. Thus, paramount is the knowledge of needs of the interacting people which can be formed from linguistic and non-verbal human actions.

Variety of Needs and Their Automatic Recognition

Needs are difficult to recognize during conversation, because people rarely talk about them directly. Analysis of personality delivers a faster and much more appropriate solution, because it allows easy description of many groups of needs, behaviors, likes, dislikes, and even expected actions and reactions. This paper introduces the broaden personality typology that can be easily adapted to recognize human needs. Unlike many typologies (e.g. Myers-Briggs or C.G. Jungs), the one presented has been specifically designed for automatic computer recognition systems. It describes personality according to four main groups of needs associated with physiology, character, intellect, and spirit, which are recognized by means of used words, phrases, and inflection. It is easy to identify the physiological needs that are easy to satisfy. Other groups of needs are also important - people are rarely aware of how much they influence their decisions and choices. This paper reveals these groups of needs and relates them to preferences that determine predictable actions and reactions. This can change the impact of machines on people.

Various needs of personality incline us to do, avoid, or refuse doing something. They are also strictly related to pleasure and satisfaction that can be achieved. People usually choose satisfaction and pleasure over pain and problems, however, often the fulfillment of a given group of needs contradicts fulfilling another. In such cases people are in a dilemma. Because some personality types are usually stronger than others, estimating their strength usually enables us to predict actions and reactions of individuals. This knowledge can be used in negotiations as well as in communication. It also helps the machine to adjust its way of interaction and consequently satisfy the human interlocutor. Similar personalities, except the dominant type, usually cooperate easier, because they share pleasure. Different personalities can complement each other, although the cooperation can appear more difficult. It is necessary to understand different needs of various personality types to be able to cooperate despite the differences. Intelligent web interfaces understanding humans’ needs, fears, and desires and relating them to specific reactions allow computer systems to cooperate with people much easier.

10x10 Character Systematics (invented by Adrian Horzyk)

The human character can be classified into 20 types that are neutral in terms of moral values. Our character induces us to act, react, and desire based on the needs coming from inborn character types. Behaviors in accordance with character types and their strength give satisfaction and pleasure; behaviors that are at odds with character types cause fear, pain, distress, or dissatisfaction. The presented broaden character typology distinguishes 10 extrovert and 10 introvert types. These character types differ in preferences, actions, reactions, tendencies, and needs. Some groups of needs are opposite for different character types and induce them to perform opposing actions and reactions. These differences can be favorable if people understood their diversity and were be able to use it prudently. This is why people need to learn to negotiate and cooperate. Understanding, respect, and wise interaction allow people to cooperate and obtain mutual benefits even if a part of their needs is opposing.

Intensities of all character types for two persons.

Man-Machine Interfaces

Man-machine interfaces should adapt according to the character types of a human user, e.g. a customer, to make communication more efficient and enjoyable by the user. People can intelligently mold their personalities to various situations and other people. Such adapted behavior - sometimes opposite to inborn character - is usually unsatisfying at the level of character but can be profitable and pleasant in view of intellectual and spiritual needs. The most frequently used words, phrases, forms, and specific inflection for all introduced character types enable a computer system to recognize them by analysis of texts.

Intelligent adaptation

Automatic tuning and adaptation of the intelligent system to the recognized human personality and its needs are very demanded. Web intelligence demands suitable reactions to the needs of interacting people. If needs are suitably satisfied, the web interface gives the impression of understanding interacting people and appears more intelligent. Thanks to the presented typology we can automatically recognize groups of needs that are usually related to recognized personality types. The types and their intensities can be recognized by analyzing frequent words, phrases, and inflection used by interacting people. After successful recognition, a computer web system can accordingly adapt graphical elements of web pages as well as its way of talking with the interacting person. Positive responses of interacting people are more frequent when websites are adapted to the recognized needs and people’s likes. This paper has introduced an extensive character typology that allows for precise recognition of character types and needs. This psycholinguistic aspect of web interaction enables to automate many processes and leads to more positive responses of interacting people than otherwise. It also enables to construct automatic chatbots that intelligently react to human needs and are able to understand and satisfy them. Thanks to this psycholinguistic model, people do not need to directly reveal themselves or describe their needs to machines. Linguistic communication is very natural for people, so it can be used to quantify and classify individual human personality in order to adjust and tune the corresponding machine reactions. Using the introduced personality typology, machines have to simply count up characteristic words, phrases, and inflection and weigh them in order to build a personalized interaction model according to recognized individual human needs. For this purpose, the machine can use electronic correspondence, answers, written responses, or chatbot conversations. The presented typology describes also the recommended treatment of a person of an established type of character. It allows us to construct intelligent and personality-sensitive man-machine web interfaces which make the interaction between people and machines more humanlike and friendly. Accurate identification of human needs is also indispensable to development of intelligent systems that can form knowledge and enhance intelligence. The use of this model depends on the application, e.g. to incline customers to buy products that correspond to their needs, to make the web communication between man and machine more pleasant, simple, intuitive, and predictable.

This paper presented the extensive model of personality typology that can be used in psycholinguistic web interaction. The positive response to recognized individual needs is one of the most important aspects of the intelligent behavior that can be implemented in the intelligent web interfaces. The personality analysis can be carried out during a chatbot talk, automatic correspondence or searching through various texts of an analyzed person. People like similarities in behavior, views, and ideas, so this typology can help to adapt web systems to satisfy such needs. The defined groups of needs allow the system to quickly adapt and predict individual reactions of web customers and better run a web business.
