![]() It works to satisfy basic urges, bodily needs, wants, and desires, including those of a sexual or aggressive nature, and it operates on the pleasure principle, seeking instant satisfaction. It is the earliest part of the personality to emerge and is the most primitive component. The id is present at birth and is entirely unconscious. Let’s take a look at the personality components of the id: ![]() As a manifestation of personality, behavior (a person’s thoughts, actions, and reactions) is the product of the interactions of these three components.
