transient personality

Adjective: A transient personality is one that is ever changing and adapting. Transient personalities are not stable or static. They are not genuine. They can change on a whim depending on whom is near or perceived to be watching them or how much of a chameleon they must be to fit into the group they want to be a part of.

A Transient personality might become a die hard sports fan, for example, if his or her coworkers all have an excessive interest in sports.

Some of Charles Manson's Family might be considered transient in personality. A few of his female followers grew up attending church and singing in their choir. One graduated college and one was a Librarian's Assistant when she met Manson. However, all education, religion, and morals were tossed aside quickly when their transient personality shifted to Manson - like interests.

Transient personalities can also be seen in those who have borderline personality disorder or narcissistic personality disorder.

Transient personalities can be seen at work or school or church. Have you ever had a nice manager turn into a real by the book condescending jerk because upper management was watching him or her perform their job? Once their performance was no longer being scrutinized, they became that nice manager again. Or how about the people who preach and pray and sing in church or Sunday and then molest kids on Monday?

My first impression of your father was that he was a warm, loving, and generous man, but after accidently bumping into him on the opposite side of the protest where he was wearing full KKK dress, I knew the warm and loving side of him was just a transient personality. There is nothing good about anyone who is involved with the KKK regardless of what our transient personality disordered President might say.

I think that Becky has Nursicisstic Personality Disorder. She's always such a bitch to everybody else just because she's a nurse.

Multi Diverse Personality MDP

Multi Diverse Personality unlike schizophrenia is the result of multitasking requirements in the present day age whereby one must have the ability to switch personalities based on the requirement to adapt to a particular environment.
John has such a multi diverse personality MDP in such that he can actually be an accountant one minute, then a sales person the next, but even more so he can type and text message on his phone at the same time. His girlfriend Jane can social network, analyze people, and text message also at the same time, making her a MDP also. Hence, their relationship is made in heaven. Adaptability is so important, they have mastered it as MDP's.

Corporate Multiple Personality Syndrome

When a person involved in a business organization holds multiple roles and genuinely begins to think that they themselves are different people by virtue of the roles. Often happens when a shareholder is a director who is also a director of an entity that is a shareholder. People with this syndrome can be caught emailing themselves with the to/from fields being populated by the different roles they hold. Victims of this syndrome often cite bizarre legal theories to substantiate spending time emailing themselves in official capacities.
