Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the psychodynamic perspective on personality, developed by Freud, divides the mind into different parts that influence behavior.
Identify the key components Freud proposed: the id, ego, and superego, each representing different aspects of personality and consciousness.
Recall that the 'id' is described as the unconscious part of the mind that contains basic drives and instincts, including sexual energy (libido).
Recognize that the 'ego' acts as the rational part that mediates between the id and reality, while the 'superego' represents internalized moral standards.
Conclude that the term used to describe an individual's unconscious drives and reservoir of sexual energy is the 'id'.
