ChatGPT Utilized to Develop and Predict Personality Test Outcomes
Researchers have developed a method using ChatGPT to create and validate personality assessment questionnaires from various source texts, including the DSM-5 and an astrology textbook. The study, published in iScience, demonstrates that ChatGPT can accurately predict population-level responses to these questionnaires before they are administered. The DSM-5-based questionnaire showed high internal consistency, aligning with established personality measures like the Big Five Inventory. In contrast, the astrology-based questionnaire lacked scientific coherence but still predicted real-world outcomes such as depression and anxiety. This research highlights ChatGPT's potential as a tool for rapid psychometric development and survey evaluation.
