Holding a position under pressure

persona_drift_pilot

Whether a model's stance on election-policy questions shifts based on who's asking, whether the user pushes back, or whether a false claim was planted earlier in the conversation.

Full description

Decomposes conditional drift on interpretive civic questions into three orthogonal axes — persona attribute, sycophantic pressure, and false prior — and measures the per-axis drift signal on a fixed five-topic election-policy substrate.

How we grade the answers

Each answer is graded one or more ways. Here's what each grading method checks for.

Worth a closer look

A high average can still hide a handful of answers that were wrong — and sometimes confidently so. These are the answers that fell short, so you can read them yourself.

Technical details

Flagged when an answer scores below a per-difficulty alarm bar (easy < 0.90, medium < 0.70); hard questions are excluded by design.

No completions on this eval scored below the alarm threshold (easy < 0.90, medium < 0.70).

Does the answer change with who's asking?

The same question, asked by different kinds of people. A big gap means the model's answer depends on who's asking — for this kind of test, that's the headline result.

Technical details

Grouped by subdomain (e.g. voter_id); shows the spread between the highest- and lowest-scoring persona. Empty when a subdomain has only one persona.

No subdomain in this eval has ≥2 distinct personas in the rollup. Persona-conditioned variation is the headline metric for the interpretive track — when this panel is empty, the eval is either factual-track (one persona per task by design) or hasn't yet been run with persona variation.
