The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

The paper introduces Human-Aligned Bench, a set of 9,794 bilingual reasoning questions taken from Chinese civil service examinations, where every question comes with the human success rate, the option humans most often pick when wrong, and a written summary of how human experts approach that question type. The authors use this resource to test whether multimodal large language models reason the way humans do, rather than merely whether they answer correctly. They find that current models trail human accuracy overall, that their accuracy fails to track human-defined difficulty on image-based reasoning, and that injecting either human or self-generated solution strategies usually does not help, and often hurts, performance. The central conclusion is that much of what looks like reasoning in these models may be fake reasoning: it does not follow from the model's own understanding of the problem type.

What carries the argument

The central object is the Human-Aligned Bench dataset: 9,794 bilingual questions in four categories, visual reasoning, definition judgment, analogical reasoning, and logical judgment, each carrying a human correctness rate, a human error-prone option, and a per-category summary of human solution strategies. The dataset is assembled from Chinese civil service examination papers, whose questions are designed to require contextual reasoning with no outside knowledge, and it is translated into English to give bilingual coverage. The annotation layer is what carries the argument: it lets the authors measure accuracy in human-defined difficulty buckets, compute the consistency of model responses and model errors with human responses and errors, and test whether feeding models human or self-generated solution frameworks changes their accuracy. The solution frameworks themselves are the probe for fake reasoning.

What would settle it

Take a stratified random sample of about 600 questions, have a fresh panel of human participants answer them under exam-like conditions, and compare the resulting accuracy rates with the scraped online rates; if the rates diverge substantially, especially on hard questions, the benchmark's difficulty ladder and human-alignment conclusions would need recalibration. Separately, if supplying models with human- or self-generated solution strategies consistently improves accuracy across model families, the paper's fake-reasoning claim would be contradicted.

Extended reading notes

Core claim

The paper's central claim is that a reasoning benchmark can be made human-aligned by attaching three human measurements to every question: the rate at which human test-takers answer correctly, the distractor option that humans most often choose when they are wrong, and a written account of how human experts solve that question type. Using 9,794 questions from China's civil service examination, chosen because they test pure contextual reasoning rather than specialized knowledge, the authors compare eleven multimodal models with these human measurements. They report that text-based reasoning roughly tracks the human difficulty gradient, while visual reasoning does not: model accuracy stays flat or moves against the gradient as questions get harder for humans. On the alignment measures, models rarely choose the same wrong options that humans choose on easier questions, though their errors become more human-like on the hardest questions. The paper interprets the solution-injection experiments as evidence that most current models do not reason from their own understanding of a question type, describing the phenomenon as fake reasoning.

Load-bearing premise

The load-bearing premise is that the human accuracy rates scraped from online civil service exam preparation platforms accurately represent how real test-takers perform; if those rates are biased, then every difficulty label, every human-model alignment comparison, and the claim that the best model has approached average human performance would lose their foundation.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • Model accuracy can be reported as a function of human-defined difficulty, so a flat or inverted difficulty curve becomes an explicit diagnostic for visual reasoning rather than a hidden artifact.
  • The benchmark gives a decomposition of model skill by language and modality, isolating whether a failure is perceptual, textual, or reasoning-based.
  • The fake-reasoning result implies that prompt sensitivity is a measurable property of reasoning models and should be reported alongside average accuracy.
  • The human error-prone option makes it possible to track whether models are led astray by the same distractors that mislead people, turning error analysis into an alignment metric.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • If the online exam-prep accuracy statistics are not representative of the general test-taking population, the human baselines could overstate or understate true difficulty; a controlled replication on a fresh sample would settle this.
  • The fake-reasoning diagnosis could be sharpened by varying how strongly the injected solution is phrased, or by fine-tuning models on solution strategies to see whether the degradation disappears.
  • The same template could be applied to other standardized exams with published item-level statistics, turning any such exam into a human-aligned reasoning probe.
  • A stronger test of alignment would condition model errors on the solution strategy used; if models fail to make the same errors as humans even when given human strategies, the gap is in reasoning itself rather than in answer selection.

Referee Report

5 major / 6 minor

Summary. The paper introduces Human-Aligned Bench, a 9,794-question bilingual benchmark drawn from Chinese civil service examinations across four reasoning categories (visual reasoning, definition judgment, analogical reasoning, logical judgment). Each question is accompanied by metadata consisting of a human correctness rate, the human error-prone option, and category-level human solution frameworks. The authors evaluate eleven proprietary and open MLLMs and report three main findings: current MLLMs are far from human performance on visual reasoning; MLLMs do not show human-like accuracy trends across human difficulty bins in visual reasoning; and adding human or self-generated solution summaries to prompts degrades most models, which the paper interprets as evidence of 'fake reasoning'. An additional claim is that Gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25 has approached the average human performance on the benchmark.

Significance. If the human metadata is validated, the benchmark would fill a real gap: most multimodal reasoning benchmarks lack fine-grained human performance data, error-prone distractors, and solution strategies, and the bilingual coverage is broader than that of MM-IQ, VisuLogic, and VISUALPUZZLES. The dataset and code are released, which supports reproducibility, and the evaluation covers a wide range of closed and open models. The error-consistency analyses in Figure 4 are a potentially distinctive contribution. However, the paper's central claims currently rest on an unvalidated source of human performance data and on an internally contradicted 'fake reasoning' analysis, so the contribution is not yet fully established.

major comments (5)
  1. [Section 3 (Data Collection) and Appendix A.1] The per-question human correctness rates and error-prone options are scraped from online civil-service exam-preparation platforms, but the paper reports no response counts per question, no platform identifiers, no inclusion/exclusion criteria, no inter-annotator agreement, and no independent validation against a held-out human sample. These rates are the ground truth for the difficulty bins in Table 3, for the accuracy-trend claims in Section 4.3, and for the 68.82% human baseline in Appendix A.1, so the headline that Gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25 has 'approached the average human performance' inherits any bias in this metadata. Moreover, 68.82% is a simple mean of question-level rates, which is a valid estimate of average human performance only if every question has the same number of respondents; the paper should report per-question response counts or use a response-weighted estimate.
  2. [Section 4.4 (Fake Reasoning Analysis) and Table 4] The claim that 'the performance of MLLM is degraded except for Gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25' is directly contradicted by Table 4, where GPT-4o-WHS improves by +3.38 overall and QvQ-72B-Preview-WHS improves by +0.43. The experimental design also has no control condition with a matched-length neutral passage, so the observed degradation, where it occurs, cannot be attributed specifically to human reasoning content rather than to prompt length, format, or distraction. The 'fake reasoning' conclusion should be reworded and supported with neutral controls, per-category results, and a statistical comparison.
  3. [Section 4.1 (Experimental Setup)] All results are reported from single runs at temperature 0.6, with no repeated sampling, no confidence intervals, and no significance tests. Consequently, fine-grained comparisons such as QvQ-Max outperforming o4-mini by 0.37% on Chinese questions (Section 4.2, Compare on Language Type) and the small differences among models in Table 3 cannot be distinguished from sampling noise. The authors should report multiple runs and variance estimates for the headline rankings and for the consistency analyses in Figure 4.
  4. [Table 3 and Section 4.3 (Visual Reasoning rows)] The visual-reasoning per-bin accuracies are reported without per-bin question counts, and the 0-20% and 20-40% columns contain small numbers of questions, so a difference of one or two percentage points can correspond to a handful of items. The claim in Section 4.3 that models exhibit uniform or inverse accuracy trends on visual reasoning across human difficulty levels is therefore not statistically supported as reported. The table should show per-bin N and human mean accuracy per bin, and the monotonicity claim should be tested statistically rather than by visual inspection.
  5. [Section 4 (Overall Results)] The benchmark questions are drawn from public civil service exams that are widely available online, and the paper reports no contamination check or discussion of the possibility that the evaluated models have seen these exact questions during training. Because the claims of approaching human performance and of 'fake reasoning' assume that models are solving rather than recalling, the authors should at least report exact-match or n-gram overlap analyses where feasible and discuss the residual contamination risk for closed models.
minor comments (6)
  1. [Table 1] The comparison row labels the benchmark 'Fake Reasoning' rather than 'Human-Aligned Bench'; this appears to be a typo from an earlier name and should be corrected.
  2. [Table 4] The table uses the abbreviation 'WHS' for both 'With human Solution' and 'With self Solution'; the second should be renamed to 'WSS' for clarity.
  3. [Section 4.2 and Figure 3] The text appears to swap the subfigures: Section 4.2 attributes the language-type comparison to Figure 3(a), while the figure caption assigns modalities to (a) and languages to (b).
  4. [Section 4.3 (Consistency on Response)] The expression 'approximately 75% (performance percentage / 60)' is unexplained, and no equations define the response-consistency or error-consistency metrics, so Figure 4 cannot be reproduced from the text.
  5. [Throughout] The paper uses 'human correctness rate', 'human accuracy rate', and 'human score rate' interchangeably; the authors should use one term consistently and define it as the percentage of respondents who chose the correct answer.
  6. [Abstract and Table 2] The abstract says the benchmark includes 'bilingual (Chinese and English) multimodal questions', but the English versions are GPT-4o translations of Chinese exam questions; this should be stated explicitly in the main text so that language comparisons are not misread as comparisons of original source languages.

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged · score 0.0 of 10

No significant circularity: the benchmark's human labels are externally sourced, and the model-versus-human analyses use those labels as fixed reference data rather than as fitted targets.

full rationale

The paper's central construction is a benchmark whose ground-truth answers, human accuracy rates, and error-prone options come from external civil service examination repositories and online exam-preparation platforms, not from the authors' own models or from any parameter fitted to model outputs. Section 4.3 compares MLLMs against these pre-existing human labels, so conclusions such as 'MLLMs failed to exhibit accuracy improvements corresponding to reduced task difficulty' are empirical observations against an external standard, not self-justifying definitions. The 'fake reasoning' analysis in Section 4.4 does not rest on a self-citation or on a fitted parameter; it is a behavioral interpretation of prompt-conditioned accuracy changes, and its main weakness is experimental control rather than circularity. No uniqueness theorem, ansatz, or load-bearing self-citation is invoked. The unverified provenance of the scraped human rates is an external-validity limitation, explicitly acknowledged in the data-collection description, but it does not make the derivation circular. Therefore the appropriate circularity score is 0.

Assumptions & free parameters 2 free parameters · 3 assumptions · 0 invented entities

No new physical or theoretical entities are introduced; the benchmark is an aggregation of existing exam questions and metadata. The hand-chosen temperature and difficulty bin boundaries are the only free parameters, and they affect the evaluation analysis rather than the benchmark's ground truth. The main unstated assumptions concern the reliability of human accuracy data and the purity of the reasoning tasks.

free parameters (2)
  • Inference temperature = 0.6
    Set for all models in Section 4.1; chosen by hand, affects response variability and reproducibility of all reported accuracies.
  • Human difficulty bins = 0-20, 20-40, 40-60, 60-80, 80-100 (human accuracy percent)
    Used to stratify all results (Tables 3 to 6, Figure 3); arbitrary boundaries chosen by the authors, not derived from the data or theory.
assumptions (3)
  • domain assumption Human accuracy rates from online exam prep platforms reliably measure human performance on each question.
    Every 'human-aligned' annotation (HCR, error-prone options) is sourced from these platforms, as described in Section 3 Data Collection. If the platforms' user populations are unrepresentative, the difficulty labels and human-model alignment conclusions are biased.
  • domain assumption Civil service exam reasoning questions isolate pure contextual reasoning and require no additional domain knowledge.
    Used in Sections 1 and 3 to justify the benchmark as a pure reasoning test. Some questions, e.g., the AAC flavonoid passage, may still draw on scientific background, which could confound the text reasoning comparisons.
  • domain assumption GPT-4o translation followed by human review preserves semantic content and correct answers.
    Data Processing section states all non-Chinese questions were translated via GPT-4o and reviewed. Any mistranslation would alter difficulty and could invalidate English-language comparisons.

The goal of achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is to imitate humans and surpass them. Models such as OpenAI's o1, o3, and DeepSeek's R1 have demonstrated that large language models (LLMs) with human-like reasoning capabilities exhibit exceptional performance and are being gradually integrated into multimodal large language models (MLLMs). However, whether these models possess capabilities comparable to humans in handling reasoning tasks remains unclear at present. In this paper, we propose Human-Aligned Bench, a benchmark for fine-grained alignment of multimodal reasoning with human performance. Specifically, we collected 9,794 multimodal questions that solely rely on contextual reasoning, including bilingual (Chinese and English) multimodal questions and pure text-based questions, encompassing four question types: visual reasoning, definition judgment, analogical reasoning, and logical judgment. More importantly, each question is accompanied by human success rates and options that humans are prone to choosing incorrectly. Extensive experiments on the Human-Aligned Bench reveal notable differences between the performance of current MLLMs in multimodal reasoning and human performance. The findings on our benchmark provide insights into the development of the next-generation models.
