Maia Regman Mrs. Magnan Biology Honors 5 April 2014 Introversion, Narcissism, Passive Aggression, and Shyness According to personality psychologists, being an introvert or an extrovert is the most important feature of our personality. It determines everything from our choice of friends to how we show love. Within the last century, the meaning of introversion has changed drastically. Introverts? portrayal in media and the general conception has evolved greatly, but misconceptions about introverts are still common.

Gary Borden November 10, 2012 PY3150 Week 8 According to Freud, the basic nature of personality consists of three mental structures, id, ego and superego. ID, in summary, according to Freud, is the source of all psychic energy, the primary component of personality. ID is the only component of personality that is present at birth. An example of ID I found while researching: ID as an increase in hunger or thirst should produce an immediate attempt to eat or drink. The id is very important early in life, because it ensures that an infant's needs are met. If the infant is hungry or uncomfortable, he or she will cry until the demands of the id are met.
