Just another potential quote:
-->''Oh Calculon, I'm afraid you have a fourth personality the other three don't know about, and it and I are lovers!'' --''{{Futurama}}''

{{Ununnilium}}: Does Cringer really count?
{{Ununnilium}}: I'm 99% sure Gollum's split-personality thing was created for the movies, but I could've missed something that suggested it in the books.
LooneyToons: IIRC, in the books it's Sam who labels them "Slinker" and "Stinker" based on his observations of Gollum's behavior, and I do seem to remember that Gollum does have conversations with himself in two voices.
DarkSasami: Just confirming that yes, Sméagol and Gollum do argue with each other in the book. One of the few things Peter Jackson didn't AssPull.
{{Ununnilium}}: My conclusion: time for a re-read!
RedShoe: I'm not quite sure what this:
"Furthermore, unlike in dissociative identity disorder, the two personalities sometimes share memories."
means. In TV land, the personalities are almost never aware of the actions of each other. In real life, they almost always *are* (At least, the "primary" personality is almost always aware of the actions of other personalities). (For that matter, in Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde, Jeckyll was always aware of Hyde's actions (Which I don't think any adaptation has ever honored.)).
Actually, it seems like most of the properties of Multiple Personality Disorder on TV are lifted from the ''lies'' that the doctors told the Boston Strangler while trying to prove that he was faking it (He was trying to look like a "textbook case" so he pretended to have every symptom they described).
{{Shazzbaa}}: *never done this before, lemme know if I'm doing this wrong* I'm confused about this bit: "For instance, the other personality is very nearly a character in their own right, with not just different mannerisms, but often different opinions." -- it implies that this is not normal, or not the way it would be in real life; whereas I was under the impression that many multiples perceived their "alters" to be entirely different people... so that representation would actually be consistent with the real life "disorder." Am I misunderstanding?
Shape-changing and voice changing are, however, myths.
And for the record, everything I've seen asserts that some multiples share memories among their selves/alters/"personalities", and some do not -- it can go either way. And, Red Shoe, I believe the movie version of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen honoured that detail, as the good doctor says something to the effect of his greatest curse being that he remembers Hyde's actions.

Bossman: In the ''{{Killer 7}}'' entry, if you're counting Harman as one of Garcian's personalities, then the number he has is eight. Oh, and it can go much higher depending on the theories you ascribe to: is Young Harman (from Killer 8 mode) separate? His original Emil personality? Or Samantha (add two because ''she'' has a split personality)? What about Trent and Izawaru? Hell, how about everyone else Garcian has killed? It must be crowded in there.
{{Meiriona}}: I seem to remember an account of a woman with 22 personalities, they did a book called IIRC, the 22 faces of eve. Can anyone get more details?
There's a woman in Paranoia Agent with splits, but I can't recall her name or any other information, besides that the two communicate through phone messages and eventually fight one another. Can anyone shed light on this?
Her name is Harumi Chouno. She is a legit split personality. Harumi herself is a mild tutor who gets proposed to by a co-worker. Maria is her "other" personality, a prostitute. Throughout the episode, Harumi keeps throwing out Maria's things and trying to distance herself from the Maria personality. In the end, they have a huge fight (Maria is shown pulling on Harumi's hair, but in reality, she was probably just flailing about) in the middle of the road, which is when Shounen Bat clubs her.

Ankh: Removed this, as it's actually an example of genetic memory, not split personality. It's a parody on the whole "thinking your Napoleon" or some other important historical figure insanity shtick that's often used in fiction. There actually is Napoleon in there, it turn out Fred was such a loser, the genetic memory of Napoleon manifested and is now trying to take over his mind.
** There's also Fred and Napoleon Bonaparte, a split personality both of which are voiced by the same actor.

Alan: Would [[FinalFantasyVII Cloud]] qualify for this? Between the fake SOLDIER facade he created that we are initially introduced too, the memories of a completely different person stored inside him, his inner child that speaks to him and the actual Cloud, Cloud kinda suffers from a mixed case of SplitPersonality, Identity Amnesia, Split Personality Takeover, and a friendly case of the Enemy Within.
