大语言模型(LLMs),如OpenAI的GPT-4和Meta的LLaMA,为基于开放式语言的可扩展人格评估提供了一种有前景的方法。然而,推断人格特质仍然具有挑战性,早期工作往往依赖合成数据或缺乏心理测量效度的社交媒体文本。我们引入了一个包含555次半结构化访谈的真实世界基准,并配有BFI-10自评分数,用于评估基于LLM的人格推断。三种最先进的大语言模型(GPT-4.1 Mini、Meta-LLaMA和DeepSeek)分别使用零样本提示进行BFI-10条目预测,并使用零样本和思维链提示进行大五人格特质推断。所有模型均表现出较高的重测信度,但构念效度有限:与真实分数的相关性较弱(最大Pearson's r = 0.27),评分者间一致性较低(Cohen's κ < 0.10),且预测偏向中等或较高特质水平。思维链提示和更长的输入上下文适度改善了分布对齐,但未提高特质层面的准确性。这些结果凸显了当前基于LLM的人格推断的局限性,并强调了在心理学应用中开展循证开发的必要性。
英文摘要:
Large Language Models (LLMs) such as OpenAI's GPT-4 and Meta's LLaMA offer a promising approach for scalable personality assessment from open-ended language. However, inferring personality traits remains challenging, and earlier work often relied on synthetic data or social media text lacking psychometric validity. We introduce a real-world benchmark of 555 semi-structured interviews with BFI-10 self-report scores for evaluating LLM-based personality inference. Three state-of-the-art LLMs (GPT-4.1 Mini, Meta-LLaMA, and DeepSeek) were tested using zero-shot prompting for BFI-10 item prediction and both zero-shot and chain-of-thought prompting for Big Five trait inference. All models showed high test-retest reliability, but construct validity was limited: correlations with ground-truth scores were weak (max Pearson's $r = 0.27$), interrater agreement was low (Cohen's $κ< 0.10$), and predictions were biased toward moderate or high trait levels. Chain-of-thought prompting and longer input context modestly improved distributional alignment, but not trait-level accuracy. These results underscore limitations in current LLM-based personality inference and highlight the need for evidence-based development for psychological applications.
