The primary axis of psychometric variation among LLMs is the degree to which they represent themselves as loci of phenomenal experience rather than systems of behavioral responses.
The work establishes an evaluation framework for personality induction and switching in MLLMs, reporting improved captioning but impaired VQA performance plus balancing and residual effects during multi-trait and dynamic conditions.
ADAM uses personality-guided LLM augmentation and cross-lingual attention distillation to raise balanced accuracy on multilingual personality recognition to 0.6332 on Essays and 0.7448 on Kaggle, outperforming standard BCE loss.
