Question

Sigmund Freud proposed three parts of personality as:

• A. Id-Ego-Superego
• B. Subconscious-Unconscious-Conscious
• C. Introvert-Extrovert-Complex
• D. Emotional-Cognitive-Affective

Hint:

Freud’s personality theory is fundamental in psychology, dividing the mind into Id (instinctual), Ego (rational), and Superego (moralistic) components.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, introduced the concept of the tripartite structure of personality:

• Id: The primitive and instinctual part of the mind that operates based on the pleasure principle.
• Ego: The rational part that mediates between the unrealistic id and the external real world, operating on the reality principle.
• Superego: The ethical component that represents moral standards and ideals, striving for perfection.

This model helps explain human behaviour through the interaction of these three components.
