I could imagine anywhere from 1 to 3 people:
One:
Just me (further describing myself as a schizophrenic and arsonist)
Two:
Just me (describing myself as a schizophrenic), and another person who is an arsonist
Just me, and another person who is both a schizophrenic and arsonist
Three:
Me, a schizophrenic, and an arsonist
