Suspecting Multiple Personality From Photographs

People with multiple personality look like anybody else. You can’t tell anyone has multiple personality just by looking at them (or a picture of them).

And even if a person you know does have multiple personality, you may always be meeting the same personality each time you see them. Because which personality is “out” at any given time depends on the particular kind of situation it is, and you may always be seeing the person in the same situation (golf, fishing, a faculty meeting, etc.). Indeed, you, yourself, are a particular type of situation, and so the same personality may always come out with you.

Nevertheless, since different personalities do differ from each other in their facial expressions, body language, and clothing choices, you can see such differences if you have a lot of photographs of a person.

Of course, if they are a king or queen, and all the pictures you have show them in their king or queen persona, that won’t tell you anything. Or if they have one particular personality who always comes out when anyone is taking pictures, this approach may not work.

You want candid photos in diverse situations.

Examine the photos in detail regarding their facial expressions, body language, and dress. Or simply look at the pictures intuitively. You may suspect multiple personality if the pictures look like they could be of a good actor, who was playing distinctly different characters. The pictures of most people are more consistent.
