selfish

The id is the chaotic part of the personality. It includes human's basic, instinctual drives.

The ego is the mediator between the id and reality. It compensates the id's impulsiveness with reality. It delays gratification and enables the person to function effectively.

The imbalance of these interacting powers will cause a disruption in the personality.
