How was PersonaGym's PersonaScore validated against human judgement, and what does its Linguistic Habits task say about voice?
PersonaGym (arXiv 2407.18416v5, 5 Sep 2025) scores persona agents on five tasks with an ensemble of two LLM judges using 1-5 rubrics. A human study of five experts rated 1,500 responses (100 personas, three models) and reports Fleiss kappa 0.71 among annotators and average Spearman 75.1% and Kendall 62.73% between PersonaScore and humans. Linguistic Habits was the hardest task. Personas are described people (for example professions), not fictional characters, and the text and the correlation table disagree on one Kendall claim.
