The tip of the iceberg represents the conscious mind in relation to the unconscious mind.
The id represents the instinctive drive to seek pleasure and avoid pain.
The three major components of human personality according to Freud are the id, ego, and superego.

The term Self-Actualization refers to the realization of a person's potential and self-fulfillment.
The superego in the examples represents the moral compass or conscience, urging the individual to make ethical choices.
