arXiv:2607. 07916v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models exhibit recurring behavioural patterns -- personas -- that shape generalisation and safety, but we lack reliable tools for decomposing, measuring, and controlling them.

arXiv:2608. 03166v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Role-Playing Language Agents (RPLAs) are increasingly deployed in high-stakes applications such as healthcare assistance, customer support, and education, where maintaining consistent personas, ethical constraints, and behavioral coherence under adversarial pressure is critical.

LLM companions are deployed at scale in personally consequential settings, yet poorly evaluated. Existing benchmarks use hand-authored scenarios and prompted simulators, aggregate empathy into one score, and overlook judge biases such as same-family favoritism and scale drift.

The paper presents a systematic MBTI analysis of open‑source large language models (LLMs) across various quantization levels, including mainstream 4‑bit and extreme 2‑bit settings. It examines how personality traits emerge layer‑by‑layer through entropy and confidence‑gap dynamics, and introduces Uncertainty‑Amplified Layer Decoding (UALD) to study decoding‑induced personality drift. Findings show that personality is not static but depends on layer, quantization, prompting, and decoding, with ENFJ traits dominating, 4‑bit quantization preserving coarse structure, and 2‑bit quantization disrupting fine‑grained consistency.
