4.1.1 Administering Psychometric Tests to LLMs

To administer a psychometric test to LLMs, we leverage their ability to complete a
prompt. In our context, a given prompt instructs a given LLM to rate an item (i.e.,
a descriptive statement; e.g., “I am the life of the party.”) from a psychometric test
using a standardized response scale.
