Within-cell standard deviation of trait-expression scores: mean 15.11, median 15.76, min 0.00, max 44.22 on 0-100 scale; grows with coefficient

• Trait expression scores on internal evaluation questions correlate r=0.941 (Qwen, evil) and r=0.950 (Llama, evil) with external benchmark scoresfinding0.774
  Validates that internal evaluation set provides reliable proxy for broader behavioral tendencies
• Standard deviation of Elo trait scores increases dramatically after character training, indicating more opinionated trait preferencesfinding0.745
  Distribution-level finding showing polarization of trait preferences post character training
• Varying baseline cutoff over {65,70,75} changes no S/N/I labels in either model; gain cutoff {5,10,15} moves at most 10 traits per modelfinding0.742
  Demonstrates robustness of the trichotomy classification to cutoff choice
• PC1 explains 82% of variance in factor analysis of 2224 data points across 6 scoring dimensionsfinding0.740
  Dimensions are not independent; composite score is the reliable signal; six dimensions useful for understanding how not how much
• Mean combined expression: N/N pairs 171.53, N/S pairs 118.93, S/S pairs 71.02 (on 0-200 scale)finding0.734
  Natural anchor presence raises the combined floor; absence of natural anchor permits S/S regime to collapse
• Models produce first-attempt mean scores 87.8-91.8/100 without steering across all model familiesfinding0.731
  Establishes high baseline quality confirming steering-induced degradation is the experimental signal
• Trait Expression Scoreconcept0.730
  An LLM-judge-assigned score from 0-100 indicating how strongly a model response exhibits a target personality trait
• Response length (words) correlates with scores at r=0.22 baseline and r=0.12 contemplative; explains only ~5% of variancefinding0.728
  Discriminant validity: composite scores are not reducible to verbosity
