What experimental test could you perform to determine that you have successfully learned "parallel tulpa processing"?

Divided attention task

Split brain patients can do stuff like this better than neurotypicals under certain conditions. I have not heard of anyone successfully doing this with tulpas or any other psychodynamic technique.
