If you have a split personality (called dissociative identity disorder) you wont know about it. The parts are often not aware of each other. Only with the help of a therapist can this problem be addressed.

if you lost where you park your car and there are only two cars in the parking lot. If you got an A on a test you know nothing about. If in the middle of a sentance you end up answering it totaly diffrent than when you started. If you find your self love life but find your self cut up. If you find your self asking what happen yesterday and some one you don't know is in your bed and you don't drink or take medication.
Got the idea.

Patients often have a remarkable array of symptoms that can resemble other neurologic and psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety disorders, personality disorders, schizophrenic and mood psychoses, and seizure disorders. Symptoms of this particular disorder can sometimes include:
* depression
* anxiety (sweating, rapid pulse, palpitations)
* phobias
* panic attacks
* physical symptoms (severe headaches or other bodily pain)
* fluctuating levels of function, from highly effective to disabled
* time distortions, time lapse, and amnesia
* sexual dysfunction
* eating disorders
* sleeping disorders (insomnia, sleepwalking, night terrors)
* posttraumatic stress
* suicidal preoccupations and attempts
* episodes of self-mutilation
* psychoactive substance abuse[4]
Other symptoms include: Depersonalization, which refers to feeling unreal, removed from one's self, and detached from one's physical and mental processes. The patient feels like an observer of his life and may actually see himself as if he were watching a movie. Derealization refers to experiencing familiar persons and surroundings as if they were unfamiliar and strange or unreal.

I believe that these people usually lose track of hours. They often dont remember this time because the other personality takes over. Very scary!

A trained psychiatrist would be able to diagnose this, as it is a very real and debilitating mental illness. Try going to nimh.org and reading more about it or a lot of other illnesses.

I don't personally but I know some that do. They are jekyl and hyde. They change from moment to moment or day to day. One day is love, the next hate. Horrible circumstances to live with and more so for the person who is living it personally...very sad......

Part of the problem is some peoplekeep both halves of the personality separate so, in a sense, they don't meet

Don't listen to these people. This is not something you can diagnos yourself with. It takes an expert in the field, don't use it as an excuse to be nuts, if you think you got a problem see a doctor.

It is rare to have multiple personality disorder and the people who have it normally don't realize they do. It takes someone who knows them to see their transformation.
Trauma is the biggest reason for it.

That's the same as worrying about going insane. Once it happens you won't know or care.
