Abstract
It is intuitive to expect a relationship between animal personality (i.e. consistent individual behavioural differences) and metabolic rate, but the literature contains mixed results. Most studies have measured resting metabolic rate (RMR); yet, other metrics such as V̇O2,max and metabolic scope may also relate to personality. Here, we explored the relationships between personality (docility and exploration) and three metabolic traits (RMR, V̇O2,max and metabolic scope) in wild mice (Peromyscus leucopus). We found no among-individual correlation (rind) between personality and motivation to run during V̇O2,max trials, suggesting that using our standard forced-exercise test did not introduce a personality-related sampling bias. At the within-individual level, we found a positive and significant relationship between docility and metabolic scope, and the correlation was entirely driven by V̇O2,max. Finally, we found a positive and significant rind between RMR and time spent grooming during the open-field test, which may be caused by the stress response.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
