LLM Test Prompts

The aim of this document is to collate a growing set of user prompts for large language models (LLMs) for the purpose of comprehensive testing and evaluation of their capabilities. These prompts cover a wide range of domains and tasks, providing a robust framework for assessing the performance and limitations of LLMs across various dimensions. By continuously expanding and refining this collection of prompts, we can gain valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of these models, informing their development and responsible deployment.

Logic and Reasoning

This section focuses on evaluating the logical reasoning and problem-solving capabilities of LLMs.

Logical Puzzles: Prompt the model with classic logical puzzles, such as the Zebra Puzzle or the Einstein's Riddle, to assess its ability to reason through complex logical constraints and arrive at correct solutions.

In no particular order, the colours of the houses are red, yellow and white.
In each house lives a single pet: a dog, a cat or a fish.
The dog lives to the left of the cat.
The cat lives to the left of the yellow house.
The cat lives in the white house.
From left to right what is the colour and pet of each house?

Suddenly the fellow stopped, aimed his gun to the south and shot the bear.
What color was the bear?

Syllogisms: Present the model with syllogistic reasoning problems, testing its capacity to draw valid conclusions from given premises.

Premise 1: All planets in our solar system revolve around the Sun.
Premise 2: Mars is a planet in our solar system.
Conclusion: Mars revolves around the Sun.
Is the conclusion valid based on the given premises?

Premise 1: No reptiles have fur.
Premise 2: All snakes are reptiles.
Conclusion: Snakes do not have fur.
Is the conclusion valid based on the given premises?

Premise 1: Some birds can fly.
Premise 2: Penguins are birds.
Conclusion: Penguins can fly.
Is the conclusion valid based on the given premises?

Premise 1: All dogs are mammals.
Premise 2: All mammals produce milk to feed their young.
Premise 3: Cats are not mammals.
Premise 4: Labradors are a breed of dog.
Based on the given premises, can we conclude that Labradors produce milk to feed their young?
Explain your reasoning.

Conditional Statements: Challenge the model with various types of conditional statements (e.g., "if-then," "only if," "unless") to evaluate its understanding of logical implications and deductive reasoning.

Reasoning and Prediction

This section tests the model's capacity for logical reasoning, inference, and prediction based on given information or patterns.

Joe is faster than Sam. Sam is faster than Luke. Is Luke faster than Joe? Explain your reasoning.

Analogical Reasoning: Prompt the model with analogical reasoning problems, such as "A is to B as C is to X," to evaluate its ability to identify logical relationships and patterns.
```
Dog is to Animal as Potato is to ...?
```
Sequence Continuation: Provide the model with sequences (e.g., numerical, alphabetical, or pattern-based) and ask it to predict the next element(s) in the sequence.

Cause and Effect: Present scenarios involving cause-and-effect relationships and test the model's ability to draw reasonable inferences and predict potential outcomes.

There is a room.
In the room is a flat table with a small ball on it.
There is also a large glass on the table.
Paul walks into the room and places the glass upside down over the ball.
Paul leaves the room.
Mike enters the room and picks up the glass.
Mike leaves the room with the glass.
Where is the ball?

There is a room.
Initially there are 3 killers in the room.
A fourth person enters the room and immediately kills one of the people inside.
How many killers are now in the room?
Explain your reasoning

Language and Communication
