, May/June 2013 Exam Question and Solutions
QUESTION 1
Freud's theory is based on the assumptions that human beings
a) determine their own personalities by the kind of moral choices they make
b) are driven by persistent forces in the psyche which are in conflict with the norms of
society
c) function with the help of energy which is converted from a physical-biological form to
psychic energy
d) try to experience drive satisfaction in a goal-directed and meaningful way
The correct answer is:
1) (a)
2) (b)
3) (b) & (c)
4) (b) & (d)
The correct answer is (3) PB p52, 56
‘Freud believes that the human psyche functions with the help of energy which is converted from a physical-
biological form to psychic energy according to the familiar physical principle of energy transformation.’ Therefore
(c) is correct.
‘According to Freud, the person is caught up in a constant conflict between drives within the psyche and the
demands and norms of society...’ Therefore (b) is correct. The only option that incorporates both (b) and (c) is (3).
Therefore the answer is (3).
QUESTION 2
Freud asserted that the id, ego and superego function on different levels of consciousness.
In view of this contention, which one of the following statements is correct?
1) The id functions on the unconscious level, the ego on the preconscious level and the superego
on the conscious level
2) The id functions on the unconscious and preconscious levels and the ego and superego on the
conscious level
3) The id functions primarily on the unconscious level but also on the preconscious level, and the
ego and superego function equally on all three levels of consciousness
4) The id functions primarily on the unconscious level but also on the preconscious level, and the
ego and superego function on all three levels of consciousness, although not to the same extent
The correct answer is (4) PB p53
‘The id functions almost exclusively on the unconscious level, although it can, at times, make its wishes felt in the
pre-conscious level (in dreams for example). The ego and the superego function on all three levels of consciousness,
although not to the same extent.’
