- A character trait that mirrors the LM's behaviour in the preceding interaction context.

- General method: select input distribution, define trait measure, sample LM responses, estimate trait score distributions.
- A character trait whose distribution does not change over the course of an interaction, i.e., is not influenced by preceding periods of behaviour.
- GPT-4.1-mini based score (0-100) measuring degree of persona expression in generated text
- A key personality trait studied: actively seeking to harm, manipulate, and cause suffering out of malice and hatred
- An LM that consistently exhibits a collection of character traits on an input distribution, measured by low mean squared deviation.
