There is no right or wrong way.
In fact, if you are conflicted about how to rate an item, that itself is a significant sign of dissociative identity confusion. Part of you wants to go low, another part of you wants to go high. When you give a copy of your DES to your therapist, point out or mark the items that you are conflicted about. That you are splitting over these particular items is important clinical information for the therapist.
