Albert Einstein: It is unusual for people to attribute a person’s inconsistency to “two personalities” or “split personalities”

Although, in this blog, I have frequently said that a person’s puzzling inconsistency should raise the possibility of multiple personality, most people usually invoke other explanations, including hypocrisy, lying, moodiness, public image, criminality, immorality, and the devil. So why did the people I quoted in yesterday’s post invoke “two personalities” and “split personalities”?

Einstein’s behavior must have seemed so unusual to them that they had to invoke an unusual explanation.
