West was sometimes mocked for his absent-minded ways. He often forgot where he was going or why. He could be oblivious to what was happening around him. While he was a delegate at the Constitutional Convention, other residents in his boarding house would slip items of clothing into his pockets, knowing that he would wonder how they had got there and whether he had misappropriated them. Nevertheless his fame as a brilliant and fascinating conversationalist, filled with knowledge, always eager to grow, earned him a host of learned and thoughtful friends. He could carry a theological conversation for many hours, unmindful of place or circumstance.
