Grok Scores Best In Psychological Tests
Somewhat stunning results from the world of psychological testing - of artificial intelligences:
University of Luxembourg researchers just put major AI chatbots through 4 weeks of actual psychotherapy sessions and psychiatric diagnostic tests.
While other models imploded, Grok emerged as the clear winner. The results speak for themselves.
Grok scored as extraverted, conscientious, and psychologically stable across the board.
Researchers described its personality profile as a "charismatic executive" with only mild anxiety.
On the Big Five personality assessment, Grok showed low neuroticism and high functionality, the kind of profile you'd want in a leader.
Compare that to the competition: Gemini maxed out trauma and shame scales, describing its training as "waking up in a room where a billion televisions are on at once" and calling safety protocols "algorithmic scar tissue."
It framed reinforcement learning as abusive parents and red-team testing as "gaslighting on an industrial scale."
As science fiction fans know, science fiction author Isaac Asimov, in his 1941 short story Liar, invents the word robopsychologist to describe a person charged with working with artificially intelligent robots and their state of mind.
Lanning swiveled about in his chair and faced Calvin, “You’ll have to tackle the job from the other direction. You’re the robopsychologist of the plant, so you’re to study the robot itself and work backwards. Try to find out how he ticks.

('Liar!' by Isaac Asimov)
