What are the symptoms of a dead spot on the starter of a 1999 jeep Cherokee?

My 01 Grand Cherokee had this problem. Sometimes you turn the key and it starts up just fine. Other times you have to turn the key several attempts before anything happens. Sometimes I have to get it jump-started. The extra power from a second battery will overpower the dead spot and it will start right up.

When a starter goes completely out then the engine will not turn over. A starter that is going bad could start sometimes or make considerable noise.
