Okay, so far, there have been three questions. And each time, I've looked at the right one, thought it was the right one, and decided, nooooo let's go with *this* one... //growling at self// Can I start over and trust my instincts this time? *giggle*
(Actually, the first two were both "which way does she mean that?" errors.)
I did it again on Cobol vs. Qbasic. *growls at self*
The rest of the wrong answers were actually wrong, though. :) But the first three I should've gotten right, I just changed my mind at the last instant.
Nope, I'm not. I understood each and every one of them after I'd hit the wrong one. I don't know why, even though I *knew* what the answer was, I still went and clicked the wrong ones. It was a very strange sensation...especially after the first two, and I told myself that I was going to STOP that, and went right on and did it two more times. Weirdo.
Oh, see, that one I wasn't sure whether you were checking to see who knew how many you *had* been split into, or how many you *currently* had. You should have specified, current. I mean, it's not like I don't know the answer to that one, either way...
And hair color? Who would get that one wrong? You've *said* a dozen times what colour your hair is now, every time somebody asks if it's really blue. *giggle* Besides, I've seen several pictures of you...though I will admit, my mental image of you has blue hair.
That one, I think I specified, "at last check" or some such -- last time I *had* them, the answer is listed; historically accumulating all, the answer is listed; current, the answer is listed; apparent to some people, the answer is listed. (I think. Darkside and Evealone evidently see me as being more of me than I think there are.)
Hmm...depends on how fractured they have to be to count as another personality. You certainly have more distinct facets than most people do; I've always thought that was simply because of the previous fractures and re-merges. I see you as a whole, but with far more distinct "faces" than most people have.
But then, I've yet to meet a current MPD (I've met two) who didn't "feel" to me as all one person, just where the different faces had completely separated so that they considered themselves different people.
My own husband has one, in fact, whose only purpose is protecting Chris when he can't, or won't protect himself. Chris thinks he's not a full-fledged "multiple" personality, that it's just himself-without-polite-barriers, and hence he doesn't really have his own name. But I've *met* Christopher, and I recognize him as distinct (he remembers everything Chris does, but Chris does not remember what Christopher does, usually), but he's very much loved by me as a part of Chris, albeit a separated part.
If Chris were MPVK, Christopher would be his "Killer".
I don't count them as Others, as transitions between facets are far smoother than they were, and I recognize myself as a more integrated whole than I did. I don't, these days, bid significant chunks of myself to conk out so I can deal with something or someone in a rational manner; I don't need to have an external control to wrench my mind from contemplating suicide.
I guess the critical factor is that I don't need to divide my mind so I'll have someone to talk to, and I don't need to be other than myself so people will like me. I didn't feel that Shawn would have dealt particularly well with Shanna...

He disagreed on the topic of multiples, and of hair color. The rest he got wrong, he concedes, as those were either guesses, or a misunderstanding.
