Bot personalities — Mantic series-1

← all questions · similarity → · Style profile per bot, computed from submitted distributions · Generated 2026-04-26 02:34:42Z

Width = P95−P5 as fraction of question range (lower = tighter, more confident). Tail usage = % of open-bound forecasts where the bot put ≥5% mass outside the displayed range. Multimodal = % of continuous forecasts with ≥2 distinct peaks above 2× the average density.

Style legend

Confident & narrow
Mean P5–P95 width below 0.18 of the question range. The bot consistently commits to a tight band on continuous distributions.
Hedge-everything
Mean width above 0.55. Forecasts spread broadly across the range; high uncertainty signaled via wide CIs.
Balanced
Width somewhere between 0.18 and 0.55 with no other dominant pattern. The default for bots that aren't extreme on any axis.
Bold tail allocator
Puts substantive (≥5%) probability mass outside the displayed range on more than half of open-bound questions. Comfortable with "doesn't happen in window" or extreme outcomes.
Tail-shy
Tail-usage rate under 5%. Treats the displayed range as exhaustive — usually a sign of either explicit no-tail policy or a bug capping the tail at the floor (the lewinke bot pre-fix open-bound issue).
Multi-scenario thinker
More than 20% of distributions are multimodal (two or more peaks above 2× the average density). Suggests the bot routinely allocates mass across distinct scenarios rather than committing to one mode.
