Features

• Zero-shot personality scoring from open-ended narratives (daily diaries / spontaneous thought).
• Multi-model aggregation (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, etc.) with deterministic seeding.
• Alignment against standard inventories (IPIP-NEO-120) and profile-level analyses.
• Utilities for prompt construction, score conversion, and result collation for paper figures/tables.
