Add to EdgeChatGPT an ENFJ, Bard an ISTJ: Empirical Study on Personalities of Large Language Models
Jun 07, 2023
Large Language Models (LLMs) have made remarkable advancements in the field of artificial intelligence, significantly reshaping the human-computer interaction. We not only focus on the performance of LLMs, but also explore their features from a psychological perspective, acknowledging the importance of understanding their behavioral characteristics. Our study examines the behavioral patterns displayed by LLMs by employing trait theory, a psychological framework. We first focus on evaluating the consistency of personality types exhibited by ChatGPT. Furthermore, experiments include cross-lingual effects on seven additional languages, and the investigation of six other LLMs. Moreover, the study investigates whether ChatGPT can exhibit personality changes in response to instructions or contextual cues. The findings show that ChatGPT consistently maintains its ENFJ personality regardless of instructions or contexts. By shedding light on the personalization of LLMs, we anticipate that our study will serve as a catalyst for further research in this field.
