Id (from Latin idem - the same)

Id (from the Latin idem - the same) is a concept from the field of psychology that denotes a piece of personality responsible for a person’s individual identity. It was introduced by Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, in his theory of personality structure.

According to Freud, personality consists of three components: the ego (self), superego (superego) and id (es). The id is the most primitive part of the personality, which includes instincts, desires and needs. He does not obey logic and rationality, but strives to satisfy his needs instantly.

The id is often associated with the concept of "infectious dose", which is used in medicine to determine the minimum dose of infection required to infect the body. Likewise, the id represents the minimum set of instincts and desires necessary for a person to survive and reproduce.

However, despite its primitiveness, the id is an important component of personality, as it determines our needs and desires, and influences our behavior. Most of our decisions and actions, even the most complex ones, have roots in an idea.

In conclusion, understanding the concept of the id can help us better understand our instincts and desires, as well as why we often make decisions that are not in our best interests in the long term. The id is necessary for survival, but if we do not learn to control it, it can lead to negative consequences. Therefore, it is important to learn to manage your personality and weigh your wants and needs in the context of long-term goals.
