Deferred gratification, delayed gratification, or emotional intelligence is the ability of a person to wait for things they want. This trait is critical for life success. Those who lack this trait are said to need instant gratification and suffer from poor impulse control.
It has also been said that those with poor impulse control suffer from "weak ego boundaries"; which comes from Sigmund Freud's theory of personality where the id is the pleasure principle, the superego is the morality or parent principle, and the ego is the reality principle. The ego's job is to satisfy the needs of the id while being conscientious of other people's needs. This is why people who are impulsive are said to have "weak ego boundaries".
