Four open models are tested with lenient zero-shot, strict zero-shot, deterministic few-shot, and stochastic few-shot prompting. Ten specialists classify 90 items and rate relevance; 200 students answer the 70 retained items. Krippendorff alpha, ICC, kappa, distribution tests, IRT, and correlations with corrected discrimination are computed.
Eleven specialists began the review and one was excluded after failing the distractor, leaving 10. The final empirical sample comprised 200 Spanish university students; 70.5% were women and mean age was 19.93 years. Classification reliability was alpha=.74 for specialists and .77-.91 for models. The best individual relevance ICC reached .68; aggregated model panels reached .93-.99. The human IRT model fit, but the anchored human-LLM model showed RMSEA=.14, TLI=.88, and CFI=.87. Correlation with empirical discrimination was .62 for humans and .41-.66 for models.
This is a non-peer-reviewed preprint. The student sample is narrow and constructs are limited to four vulnerable domains. The 30 stochastic calls to the same model are not equivalent to 30 independent specialists. IRT disagreement shows that surface agreement and latent-scale equivalence are not interchangeable. Pre-existing SBS and HEXACO items create possible contamination. It does not validate replacing specialists with LLMs. It does not demonstrate clinical, cross-cultural, or multilingual validity. It does not establish that aggregated agreement represents independent judgment.
