Multiple Me's and Dimensional You's
This past weekend a friend of mine, Heidi H., asked a really interesting question as an icebreaker: If you were to decompartmentalize aspects of your personality (think multiple personality disorder) what would you name them and why? For example, do you tend to have an analytical side that comes out at work? If so, what name best captures it? “Alfred?” Or say there is a side of you that enjoys proving yourself to others by physical means. Maybe you would you would call that persona “Gilgamesh”? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilgamesh.
P.S. It’s kinda neat how certain people or environments bring out different aspects of our personalities. For example, I am very talkative at parties, but pretty quiet with my biological family, where as, Jacob’s pretty quite at parties, and much more talkative with his biological family.
Looking forward to hearing some names! Gosh, I wish there were jobs that entailed asking fun questions all day long!

It's always funny to hear that your quiet around your family! I'd like to witness this at some point.
Not sure about names for the different dimensions of my personality yet: ) Keep you posted mate!
Much Love!

I think that question was your ice-breaker, Heidi V! :)
But I loved it!

Ah, I was thinking it was yours. Let's call the forgetful part of my personality "Amnesia". :)
