The Id, ego and super-ego were all part of a theory put forward by Sigmend Freud. Supposedly they're the three concepts that define the human mind.
As far as I know, I might be wrong, they are as follows:
The Id is set to seek out pleasure and new experiences.
The Ego is your personality, or at least the bit you show to the world. The ego represents what we would call reason and common sense, in stark contrast to the id, which contains the passions.
So, you're walking down the street and you see an elderly woman and her bag is on the floor beside her and you wan't to take it, the Id desires are still present but the ego will realise the consequences of the crime.
And then there is your super-ego.
The super-ego consists of the individuals egoic ideals, their spiritual goals, and their conscience also know as the "psychic agency" that criticises and prohibits his or her drives, fantasies, feelings, and actions.
"The Super-ego can be thought of as a type of conscience that punishes misbehavior with feelings of guilt"
So your super-ego is what deals with moral questioning, etc.
But just so you know, your super-ego and conscience are two different drives.
Good question.
(I am not 100% on all of this, I am remembering from my A Level Psychology) :-)
So, to sum them up in one sentence, they're the three men standing inside your head, shouting at eachother and telling you what to do. :D
No worries.
It's actually called a Rorschach Test, but prounounced raw-shock.
It's used by psychologists as a means of evaluating a persons personality, as well as detecting any underlying mental health issues, such as Thought Disorder (Psychosis). It gets it's name from the Swiss psychologiast, Hermann Rorschach.
Some examples:
There is no specific animal or shape you must identify to the inkblot.
For example with the first image I posted you
may see things such as bats, butterflies or moths.
I think that people can be diagnosed with Psychosis if they are shown inkblots such as the ones above, and assign the inkblots to things such as horses, houses and things that clearly are not present.
Aren't I interesting? :D
