Abstract
As Large Language Models (LLMs) integrate into professional domains, understanding their occupational adaptability is critical for human-AI collaboration. This presentation explores the “occupational personality” of LLMs and their potential as simulated participants in psychometric research, utilizing a forced-choice occupational personality scale (MAP).
We first evaluate six mainstream LLMs on the MAP scale, demonstrating excellent reliability, including traditional measurement reliability and LLM -related reliability. Next, we apply the scale to evaluate how role-playing prompts (e.g., simulating managers, tech innovators, or financial experts) can effectively align LLM traits with human professional expectations. Ultimately, this research uncovers the structural characteristics of LLM personalities and proposes a novel paradigm for validating psychometric tools using AI subjects.
