Voices

How many voices to most people have in their mind?

I’m not talking about people with schizophrenia or whatever other mental health issues can cause you to hear voices and such. That’s a different situation than, and I hate to use this word, “normal” people.

At times in my life, and even currently, I’ve definitely had more than one. Different facets of my personality that have input as to what is going on in my life, and how I should handle it. I suppose that could just be me arguing with myself, but it seems that the different voice has its own outlook, priorities, etc. And, it could be that this is just a perception thing. I see it as different voices, because I make a distinction between the parts of me that have different needs or wants for whatever reason, and other people just see it as arguing with themselves.

Either way, I am truly curious about this. Do most people in the world have an inner monologue or an inner dialogue? If the latter, what does this dialogue sound like, who wins whichever argument, and is this a constant state of affairs for them?
