Automated evaluation of creativity tasks remains challenging for LLM-as-a-Judge, as LLM is susceptible to biases such as verbosity bias and leniency bias. Such limitations are particularly evident in Contextually-Grounded and Procedurally-Structured Tasks (CGPST), a complex multi-step creativity task where inter-step dependencies, highly subjectivity, and wide scoring ranges lead to more unstable and biased judgments. Existing approaches either rely on task-specific training or directly apply LLM-as-a-Judge, both of which struggle to ensure reliable evaluation under such complexity. To bridge these gaps, we propose **CreaEval**, an automated **crea**tivity **eval**uator for CGPST that decouples typical LLM-as-a-Judge into analysis and judging. Correspondingly, CreaEval involves two critical phases: **Memory-augmented Analysis**, a SoT-LLM converts multi-step responses into structured evaluation evidence, incorporating cross-step memory; and **Evidence-based Judging**, a Judge-LLM uses the extracted evidence for judging without accessing raw responses. Comprehensive experiments on CGPST show that CreaEval achieves an average human-LLM agreement of 0.64 (QWK) on CGPST, improving over the second-best baseline (supervised training) by 0.17.

Recent research has focused on investigating the psychological characteristics of Large Language Models (LLMs), emphasizing the importance of comprehending their behavioral traits. Likert scale personality questionnaires have become the primary tool for assessing these characteristics in LLMs. However, such scales can be skewed by factors such as social desirability, distorting the assessment of true personality traits. To address this issue, we firstly incorporate the forced-choice test, a method known for reducing response bias in human personality assessments, into the evaluation of LLM. Specifically, we evaluated six LLMs: Llama-3.1-8B, GLM-4-9B, GPT-3.5-turbo, GPT-4o, Claude-3.5-sonnet, and Deepseek-V3. We compared the Likert scale and forced-choice test results for LLMs’ Big Five personality scores, as well as their reliability. In addition, we looked at how temperature parameter and language affected LLM personality scores. The results show that the forced-choice test better captures differences between LLMs across various personality dimensions and is less influenced by temperature parameters. Furthermore, we found both broad trends and specific variations in personality scores across models and languages.
