I don't know so much about multiplicity symptoms in general, but I've caught on to a number of 'common tendencies' among face personalities. which is probabaly what one would be dealing with if an inquiring individual was in front of you.
i get these somewhat from research, followed by trying them out on some of the systems i know irl in my area.
-faces are the last to know of their system, and are designed (may i use that word without offending? i happen to be a face so...) to pass for normal.
-faces are generally good at getting along with people, and may generally be capable of fitting into any crowd.
-face's big mission in life may be to be 'normal' and 'like everyone else' as opposed to say, being 'successful' or 'standing above'
-some faces accomplish certain tasks by preparing everything needed to do something, and then 'viola' its done. (i do this with programming) or, possibly you set out to do a task, and you cant do it right away, but if you focus on it long enough, you suddenly become capable/good at it. (apparently it never occurs to faces that this is out of the ordinary)
-its a faces job to not know about their system, and to be sure noone else does.

heres some other factors that make me wonder if im dealing with a closet split.
-too many nicknames. -actual names for themselves when their in modes, ie. angry -radical shifts in lifestyle/career/whatever (super-femme gothboy who says he used to play college sports, for example) -looking up, and to the left when being asked questions about past events (dont ask)
dunno if any of these have anything to do with reality, but im experimenting with them for now.
