The study explores whether Large Language Models (LLMs) can accurately predict the Big Five personality traits from counseling dialogues. The researchers introduce an innovative framework that applies role-play and questionnaire-based prompting to condition LLMs on counseling sessions, simulating client responses to the Big Five Inventory. They evaluate their framework on 853 real-world counseling sessions, finding a significant correlation between LLM-predicted and actual Big Five traits. The results prove the validity of the framework. Additionally, ablation studies highlight the importance of role-play simulations and task simplification via questionnaires in enhancing prediction accuracy.

This study shows that Large Language Models (LLMs) can predict personality traits based on counseling dialogues. Researchers created a special way to train LLMs using role-playing and questionnaires to make them better at understanding people’s personalities. They tested this method with 853 real-life conversations and found it works really well. This could be a useful tool for helping psychologists understand people better.
