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
