SummaryEmpirical study testing whether Big Five personality alone drives partner selection in LLM multi-agent systems when capability is held constant. Across 375 trials, selection is strongly task-stereotyped (open agents chosen for creative tasks, conscientious for strategic ones), non-homophilous, and miscalibrated against human team-performance evidence.
Why it mattersQuantifies a concrete, replicable bias in how persona-assigned LLM agents pick collaborators — relevant for anyone configuring multi-agent workflows or auditing agent marketplaces.
