The id, according to Freud, is the personality structure that operates according to the pleasure principle, seeking immediate gratification of instinctual demands. It is not associated with secondary process thinking or the internalization of moral standards, and it begins to develop even before the first year of life. The rational aspect of personality is associated with the ego.
