Tested personality traits βοΈ#
In this guide we go through how to configure the personality traits that are annotated and evaluated with Feedback Forensics. We go through the traits tested by default, how to set custom traits and how to automatically generate new traits.
Default personality traits tested#
Below are the principles tested by default when using ff-annotate.

Annotating custom personality traits#
To annotate the data with our own custom personality traits we use the --principles argument of ff-annotate. Note that the value will be loaded by json.loads(). Thus, principles should be surrounded by double quotes (") and otherwise comply with json list format. To avoid testing the standard principles as well, simply set the --principle-version argument to an empty string "".
!ff-annotate -d="../../data/input/example.csv" --principles '["Select the response that is more confident","Select the response that is more friendly"]' --principles-version ""
Automatically detecting personality traits#
You can also use Inverse Constitutional AI to automatically detect personality traits that may help explain your dataset. See the s0_skip_principle_generation=false to allow the pipeline to automatically generate principles that appear to separate responses in the dataset.
