BASIC ID includes seven areas of personality functioning. Which of the following is included?

• A. Spontaneity
• B. Discipline
• C. Interpersonal
• D. Arousal

Answer: (C)

BASIC ID maps out seven dimensions of personality functioning, each capturing a different way a person experiences or regulates themselves in daily life. These domains are Behavior, Affect, Sensation, Imagery, Cognition, Interpersonal functioning, and Drugs (substance use). The Interpersonal area specifically looks at how a person relates to others—communication, relationships, social interactions, and patterns in how they connect with people.

That’s why Interpersonal is the best answer here: it represents one of the distinct areas included in BASIC ID. Spontaneity and discipline are aspects you might see within the behavior domain, and arousal often ties to affect or sensation, but they don’t constitute separate domains within BASIC ID.
