The phenomenon of multiple personality – like the "split-brain" phenomenon – involves a disintegration of the normally unified self to the point where one must question whether there is one, or more than one, person associated with the body even at a single moment in time. Besides the traditional problem of determining identity over time, there is now a new problem of personal identity – determining identity at a single moment in time. We need the conceptual apparatus to talk about this new problem and a test, like the one I propose, for determining the number of persons associated with a body at a single moment in time.
