Parts are ok, but the quiz was the part i wanted to share.
Whether you call it multiplicity, plurality, MPD or DID, many people live perfectly normal lives with no knowledge of the fact they house more than one person. Then one day they discover a host of characters or perhaps just one other person inside who has been minding the shop while they daydream, or helping them with their homework or hobbies. There's nothing wrong with being multiple, and sometimes it really helps out. Plurality/Multiplicity can be a very enriching and exciting state of being, and not a a disorder at all.
Take this quiz to see if there's someone around you haven't noticed, helping you through your day. It's possible to discover multiplicity or plurality at any time of life. Some know as children, and somehow dismiss the idea as adults, only to rediscover their true nature in middle age. It's nothing like the movies, and the reality of it almost never matches the psychiatric ideas of MPD or DID.either. It is a unique experience that varies from person to person. Plurality and Multiplicity are normal variations of human psychology, which rarely cause any problems at all, and the vast majority of plurals never seek any sort of psychological treatment.
The following questions are intended to provoke thought, not to establish a diagnosis. If you answer many of these questions with a resounding yes, then please continue your research with the links to this article. Do not worry though, there's nothing wrong with being plural. Many creative people are, and it's not a disorder.
