Ego is the central operating system in the field of consciousness. Jung listed five functions that the ego operates with:
1) Stability of personality: Ego tries to keep general personality reasonable stable over time. This is to keep you from suddenly acting outside of your character and/or your strongest sides(for example dominant function or some other habits that define your personality) that you have developed over time.
2) Stability of identity: Our self awareness/self identity remains stable over time. This is to keep you from thinking that you are suddenly a different person than you were before you went to sleep, but also has long term effect.
3) Cognition: Ego helps us to process information(via thinking or feeling), to problem solve and to store memories.
4) Executive functioning: Our ability to deal with the everyday demands of the world. For example how to use a fork and knife or brushing teeth in the evening/morning.
5) Reality testing: Expect and obey the natural laws of physics. You dont start to think that you can fly off from a top of a roof.
