There is a common misconception that Schitzophrenia means Two personalities,

in The Who's 'Quadrophenia', the meaning of the title is FOUR personalities.

However this is totally incorrect as Schitzophrenia has nothing to do with multiple personality disorder and the word Quadrophenia is invented by Jimmy, the protagonist of the rock Opera, after his father tells him that he is a 'schitzophrenic' refering to the incorrect definition.

The actual name of dual personalitie dissorder is disambiguation
