One distinguishing factor of a Splinter is that it may often have an intent of its own, separate from that of the parent Shard.{{wob ref|10089}} Splinters commonly are sentient and have an associated personality,{{ref|group=fn|name=eyes|text=While Brandon has said on one occasion that Splinters must be self-aware,{{wob ref|10563}} elsewhere he has said differently and has explicitly referred to the divine Breath as a Splinter, despite its lack of self-awareness. That combine with the fact that [[Khriss]] feels the need to specify that seons and skaze are self-aware Splinters{{au ref|sel}} makes it clear that a Splinter need not necessarily be self-aware to be a Splinter.}} although that personality may be destroyed or damaged.{{cite}}Notum spren However, they do not necessarily need a personality to be considered a Splinter. Generally speaking, a Splinter has never been a person.{{wob ref|4541}} By the strictest definition, a Cognitive Shadow may not be considered to be a Splinter, because Splinters have normally been defined as something that has never been human.{{wob ref|4541}} However, there is an argument to be made that a Cognitive Shadow is just an imprint of a once-living being on Investiture, and has therefore never truly been human.{{au ref|threnody}} Generally speaking, most would consider a Cognitive Shadow to be a type of Splinter.{{wob ref|8757}} Nevertheless, Splinters and Cognitive Shadows operate by similar rules and many Cognitive Shadows may be made of an amount of Investiture equivalent or potentially even greater than a typical Splinter.
