A preregistered study compared direct numerical answers with a multi-estimate response format on five task types: anchoring, hindsight, base rates, conjunction, and status quo/default.
On gpt-6.1-sol and claude-sonnet-5.5, the directly elicited irrelevant-anchoring index and status quo bias effect were close to zero.
