arXiv:2607.12215v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurately assessing personality from text is challenging because traits are latent, context-dependent, and often subtly expressed across long narratives. Large language models (LLMs) offer new opportunities by processing extensive textual contexts, but pretraining of these models can induce latent "personality-like" biases, making single-model inferences inconsistent. We propose a fine-tuned multi-agent framework for detecting OCEAN personality traits, in which sub-agents are conditioned to adopt high, low, or neutral perspectives for each trait through masked language modeling (MLM) and psychometric supervision. A judge LLM aggregates and compares sub-agent outputs to generate final trait predictions, capturing multiple complementary perspectives while mitigating individual model biases. We evaluate the framework on life narrative dataset through quantitative and qualitative experiments, including baselines, ablations, and inference quality analyses. Our approach offers a scalable and interpretable method for text-based personality inference, highlighting the benefits of multi-agent reasoning grounded in psychometric supervision.
