Multiple Personality Trait is not a mental disorder

Many fiction writers write weird things (1), and even seemingly conventional works may have odd details, but that doesn't mean abnormal.

Psychiatric studies of creative people, including fiction writers (2), never find multiple personality, because they never evaluate for multiple personality, either the more common normal trait, or the less common mental disorder.

As I’ve discussed in more than a thousand posts, symptoms of multiple personality trait, usually unacknowledged and unintentional, may be found in the works of most fiction writers, as a reflection of how they think and conceive of normal psychology.

In addition, I have quoted a number of writers who explicitly say they have two or more distinct parts, selves, or personalities (meaning personified psychological entities that seem to have minds of their own).

One reason that people become fiction writers is that they have multiple personality trait, which is a major asset for writing fiction.
