The paper describes the first experience of application of the technique for objective assessment of the current mental state and personality traits using the Current Mental State (CMS) software-hardware complex by specialists of the physical education and adaptation department of Saint Petersburg State Polytechnic University with a view of estimating the level of adaptation to the new conditions of study and residence of foreign students of the pre-university training course. Based on preliminary data the students were divided into groups by their current mental state and readiness to accept different life situations. The findings reveal the need for mental state monitoring for the purpose of identification of those in need of adaptation and health programs.

Keywords: adaptation, mental state, objective evaluation method for mental state and personality traits, risk groups.
