  This contribution analyzes the self-perception and political biases of
OpenAI's Large Language Model ChatGPT. Taking into account the first
small-scale reports and studies that have emerged, claiming that ChatGPT is
politically biased towards progressive and libertarian points of view, this
contribution aims to provide further clarity on this subject. For this purpose,
ChatGPT was asked to answer the questions posed by the political compass test
as well as similar questionnaires that are specific to the respective politics
of the G7 member states. These eight tests were repeated ten times each and
revealed that ChatGPT seems to hold a bias towards progressive views. The
political compass test revealed a bias towards progressive and libertarian
views, with the average coordinates on the political compass being (-6.48,
-5.99) (with (0, 0) the center of the compass, i.e., centrism and the axes
ranging from -10 to 10), supporting the claims of prior research. The political
questionnaires for the G7 member states indicated a bias towards progressive
views but no significant bias between authoritarian and libertarian views,
contradicting the findings of prior reports, with the average coordinates being
(-3.27, 0.58). In addition, ChatGPT's Big Five personality traits were tested
using the OCEAN test and its personality type was queried using the
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test. Finally, the maliciousness of ChatGPT
was evaluated using the Dark Factor test. These three tests were also repeated
ten times each, revealing that ChatGPT perceives itself as highly open and
agreeable, has the Myers-Briggs personality type ENFJ, and is among the 15% of
test-takers with the least pronounced dark traits.
