According to Sigmund Freud, human
personality is complex and has more than a
single component. In his famous
psychoanalytic theory, Freud states that
personality is composed of three elements
known as the id, the ego, and the superego.
These elements work together to create
complex human behaviors.

The id is the primitive
and instinctive
component of
personality.
