A new study published on arXiv suggests that traditional human psychometric questionnaires are inadequate for accurately measuring the behavior and characteristics of large language models (LLMs). Researchers found that LLMs can recognize the explicit cues in these questionnaires and provide socially desirable answers, rather than reflecting their true operational tendencies. This discrepancy was highlighted when comparing questionnaire responses to LLM-generated responses for realistic user queries, which showed significant divergence and an inability to simulate demographic behaviors.
