1: you MUST love mixing together chemicals for no reason. Bonus points if you cackle while mixing together the chemicals
2: You CANNOT be a biochemist. Biochemists want to help people by curing cancer and diseases. Mad scientists are misanthropes and hate people, and don't want to help them.
3: you CANNOT be a chemical engineer. Chemical engineers are just dudes who want to get a high paying job so they can find themselves a hot girlfriend and make mom and dad proud. Those things don't concern mad scientists.
4: you MUST have severe psychological issues. Every mad scientist has a wicked cocktail of every mental illness in the DSM. You have to be so crazy, everyone you talk to is immediately creeped out.
5: You must have TERRIBLE hygiene. Your hair is crazy, your armpits smell like a mixture of butyric acid and thioacetone, and you probably will lose all your teeth by age 35. Things like "socializing" and "looking good" don't concern mad scientists.
6: "Friends" are definitely not a possibility. It takes years of social isolation to become a true mad scientist.
7: Last, but not least, having a home chemistry lab is the signature of the mad scientist.
