Base Claim:
1. A method, comprising: (a) receiving a behavior-descriptive input stream; determining, by a meta-parser that performs a preliminary parse on one or more portions of the input stream, a structure of the input stream for either subsequent selection of a parser or subsequent creation of a parser, the meta-parser outputting the input stream and an indication of whether the meta-parser was able to successfully parse the input stream, the input stream output from the meta-parser being passed to the parser; (b) lexically analyzing the behavior-descriptive input stream to provide a tokenized equivalent; (c) syntactically parsing the tokenized equivalent to provide a parser output; (d) semantically analyzing, by a processor, the parser output to provide an indication of at least one of a behavior and type of behavior described by the input stream; and (e) based on the indication, selecting an appropriate response.

Claim 5:
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of a behavior and type of behavior is at least one of a personality classification, type, and function, wherein at least some of the tokens in the tokenized equivalent are associated with one or more natural language words, wherein the input stream is an interpersonal communication, and wherein the input stream is defined by a plurality of grammars, each grammar being associated with the at least one of a personality classification, type, and function.
