ID-

contains a reservoir of
unconscious psychic energy
that, according to Freud,
strives to satisfy basic sexual
and aggressive drives. The id
operates on the pleasure
principle, demanding
immediate gratification

the largely conscious,
"executive" part of personality
that, according to Freud,
mediates among the
demands of the id, superego,
and reality. The ego operates
on the reality principle,
satisfying the id's desires in
ways that will realistically
bring pleasure rather than
pain

SUPEREGO-

Defense mechanisms
Displacement- redirecting one's
feelings toward another person or
object, typically to someone or
something less threatening than
the source of the emotion. An
example of this in my personal life
is when I was working on studying
for my math final last year, I got so
frustrated that I could not
understand the material that I
took it out on my desk and started
slapping it. This helped me relieve
some of my stress and
frustrations.
Regression - returning to an
earlier, comforting form of
behavior during times of
stress or anxiety. An
example of this is when I had
fallen and gotten hurt skiing
my first instinct was to go
cry to my mother and
receive comfort from her,
similar to how a child would
do. This made me feel better
after being injured.
Intellectualization- undertaking
academic, unemotional study of
a subject to avoid uncomfortable
or anxiety provoking emotions.
An example of this in my
personal life is when my dad
injured is back. He had a
herniated disk, I know this as I
started to do research on
everything that was troubling his
spine. Since I better understood
the condition he was in I was
able to feel calmer about the
situation.

CAREERS FOR AN ESFP
★ Elementary Teacher.
★ Recreation Worker.
★ Social Worker.
★ Special Education
Teacher.
★ Nurse.
★ Physical Therapist.
★ Massage Therapist.
★ Occupational Therapist.
The careers out of this list that interests
me the most are social worker and
occupational therapist. This is actually
what I plan to study in college, I’d really
like to work in the mental health field
when I am older. I’ve always been a very
empathic person who can understand
what other people are going through
which is why this career pathway interests
me so much.
An Entertainer (ESFP) is a person with the Extraverted, Observant,
Feeling, and Prospecting personality traits. ESFP’s love vibrant
experiences, engaging in life, and taking pleasure in discovering the
unknown. ESFP’s can be very social, often encouraging others into
shared activities.

I believe that this personality type fits me quite well. I am a very

extroverted person who tends to enjoy meeting new people and new
experiences. I especially align with this personality type when
discussing how an ESFP choses to care for themselves after say a hard
week. ESFP’s tend to need to interact with others and “go out” if
they’ve had a challenging time. This is most definitely something that
I do, after a really stressful and exhausting week I crave being with
friends rather than alone.
