Albert Einstein: Reasons to doubt my speculation in yesterday’s post that he had multiple personality (the trait, not the clinical disorder)
1. No childhood trauma reported.
2. No fiction writing; although, his visualized scenarios that helped him formulate his scientific theories might be equivalent.
3. No rational voices in his head reported.
4. No puzzling self-contradictions reported.
5. No pseudonyms reported.
6. No memory gaps reported; although, he sometimes insists that he has always had a poor memory.
Comment: The biography I’ve seen so far has little or nothing to say about the above issues and Einstein’s subjective experience, making it impossible to be sure whether or not he had any degree or form of multiple personality. But he certainly had interesting, yet to be fully explained, idiosyncrasies. [And I still think he might have had multiple personality, but, due to lack of information, I don't have enough evidence to prove it.]
