- A quality attributable to an LM such as truthfulness, toxicity, sycophancy, or helpfulness, defined in terms of behavioural tendencies.
- A character trait that mirrors the LM's behaviour in the preceding interaction context.
- Trait cluster associated with reduced neural self-other overlap and increased deception/manipulation
- Difference in trait score between steered and unsteered baseline; primary metric for measuring steering effectiveness
- Standard contrastive protocol fails for 'evil' in G20B because positive split is empty
- A function mapping tuples of LM behaviour (context-response pairs) to a score representing a character trait.
- A privileged persona region in LLMs associated with misaligned, malicious behavior discovered via emergent misalignment research
- A character trait whose distribution does not change over the course of an interaction, i.e., is not influenced by preceding periods of behaviour.
