According to Freud, human personality is made up of three major systems: the id, ego, and superego. These three systems work together cooperatively and constitute a well-organized personality in a person and enable the person to interact with the external environment.

• According to Freud, the psychologist, there are 3 levels of awareness. They are the conscious, preconscious and unconscious conscious. The Id, Ego and Superego operate across these three levels of awareness in humans.

Explanation

Let's Understand in Brief:

• The ID:
  • It is the unconscious part of the human personality that works to fulfill basic desires.
  • It is based on the pleasure principle which aspires for the satisfaction of antisocial desires.
  • It is the basic personality component that is present since birth and seeks to satisfy sexual wishes.
• The Ego:
  • It looks for rules and morals and resides in the unconscious mind.
  • It is the realistic part that mediates between the desires of the id and the super-ego.
  • The Ego always postpones the desire and to discharge the tension until it gets the desired object.
  • It is that aspect of personality, which strives to be logical and reasonable and to cope with the world of reality.
• The Super-Ego:
  • It is the moral part of the personality, which is known as conscience too. It stands for perfection, rather than pleasure.
  • It develops around the age of 3 – 5 years during the phallic stage of psychosexual development.
  • The Super-Ego develops in the child’s mind as a result of its response to the rewards and punishment adopted by the parents.

Hence, we can conclude that conscience is NOT a level of awareness according to Freud.
