• Title: Is Einstein more agreeable and less neurotic than Hitler? A computational exploration of the emotional and personality profiles of historical persons
• Authors: Arthur M. Jacobs and Annette Kinder
• Abstract summary: We compute likeability scores, emotional figure profiles and BIG5 personality traits for 100 historical persons from the arts, politics or science domains. Results show both the potential and limitations of such DSM-based computations of personality profiles.

• Abstract: Recent progress in distributed semantic models (DSM) offers new ways to estimate personality traits of both fictive and real people. In this exploratory study we applied an extended version of the algorithm developed in Jacobs (2019) to compute the likeability scores, emotional figure profiles and BIG5 personality traits for 100 historical persons from the arts, politics or science domains whose names are rather unique (e.g., Einstein, Kahlo, Picasso). We compared the results produced by static (word2vec) and dynamic (BERT) language model representations in four studies. The results show both the potential and limitations of such DSM-based computations of personality profiles and point ways to further develop this approach to become a useful tool in data science, psychology or computational and neurocognitive poetics (Jacobs, 2015).

This paper presents a framework for investigating psychology dimension in LLMs, including psychological identification, assessment dataset curation, and assessment with results validation. We introduce a comprehensive psychometrics benchmark for LLMs that covers six psychological dimensions: personality, values, emotion, theory of mind, motivation, and intelligence.

  Large-scale language models, which are trained on large corpora of text, are being used in a wide range of applications everywhere.

However, studies that infer and change human personality traits inherited by these models have been scarce or non-existent.
