Self-contradictory people: Which ones have multiple personality? (post 1)

Multiple personality is usually hidden behind a facade called the “host personality,” which is a consistent personality designed to deal with the public and most social situations.  The two most common indications that alternate personalities are behind this facade are memory gaps and remarkable self-contradiction.

You will usually never know that a person has memory gaps unless you ask them.

You will usually never know that a person is remarkably self-contradictory unless you know enough about them and see them in different situations.  For example, you may never discover alternate personalities who play the piano or write poems if you never see them in their private hours when they play the piano or write poems.  And you may be puzzled when a person has contradictory political views or behavior at different times.

Once it is known that a person has memory gaps or remarkable self-contradiction, an expert interview can contact the person’s alternate personalities.
