Actually it's not the best ever worded question we have made. I have my own definition for what makes someone multiple, very basically for us it is if there is more than one person that does or can have some sort of executive control over the body. it might not be everyone's definition but it works for us.
See what happened was in the recent post by golovelovekitty there was some discussion about symptoms and it got us talking amongst ourselves what those symptoms would be. I remember when we first came online there were these sort of checklists, most of the symptoms I think are debatable, things like, do you lose time, do you have stuffed toys, do you have items of clothes you don't remember buying and the like. There was a non-multiple woman on a list who was writing a book to "help the poor multiples" (*blah*) and she had a strange list, in her opinion anyone that had a shirt with a disney character on it must be multiple (or just have really bad taste in clothing). So being incredibly bored, and the kids couldn't be bothered watching their tv programmes we got into a discussion about what would be the checklist for functional/healthy or just plain old every day multiplicity would be, whether there would or could be a list of characteristics symptoms that would point to multiplicity in people's lives.
So I don't know if that made any more sense than my original question
