Nope. The id represents desires. According to Freud, personality is formed by the interaction between id, ego, and superego.
And of course, the self is so much more than what any man has to say about it.

No. The notion of the 'id' derives from Freud's approach to psychology, in which he described the unconscious as having three parts - the id, the ego, and the superego. The id is the instinctual, uninhibited, 'I want it now!' part; the ego is the more-or-less rational self; the superego is the conscience.
So any mention of the 'id' in psychology means that the speaker/writer is coming from Freud's viewpoint, whereas the notion of the 'self' can be found in many different theories, operating in many different ways, depending upon which theory (or none) is in play at the moment.

In Freudian terms, the id, ego and superego are all parts of the personality. They are hypothetical constructs but are useful in describing our development and motivations and are parts of the 'self'.
The id, something we are born with, is sometimes known as the 'pleasure principle' and demands immediate gratification at an unconscious level. The ego develops later and is a more rational part through which gratification can be delayed. The superego represents both the conscience and the ego-ideal.
The ego can be seen as a mediator between the demands of the id and the superego and can deal with conflicts by developing ego defence mechanisms such as repression, regression, denial and projection. There are over 20 of these.
The self is a much broader term and has been widely written about by many theorists in psychology (as well as in philosophy and other social sciences). ~RJS

No. The id is a hidden dimension of primal desires within the ego construct. Or so Freud thought.

no, the ID is mans baseline perception.. his drive, his need to be..
the self implies perception, and awareness, with the social stratification, and position, power and authority of the individual, in relations to the rest of the social groupings.
the id knows nothing of social engineering... its humanity, without the bells and whistles of civilistaion.. the Id is instinct.. self preservation and survival at any cost.

There is the ID, the ego and the super ego. They are all three parts of a personality, with each one being stronger and weaker depending in the person and situation.

I guess if you believe that the drive to fulfill the most base of desires makes up an entire person's self, it is.
