Birth Order, Defines Who You Are?

Do you believe that firstborns generally are more responsible, smarter, and make better leaders? Are last-born children destined to be "babies," even when they're grown up? And what about those long-suffering middle children?


These maybe true or not but one thing for sure that determines our personality is the order in which we were born, our relationship to our siblings and the role we played in our family.

So, does knowing the birth order of a person, tell us much? Dr.Spock.com explains it better:


The oldest child : the leader, a good citizen, responsible, responsive to parents’ expectations, well-organized, precise, and prone to perfectionism.
The youngest child: takes on the baby role, easygoing, spontaneous, used to being noticed and fussed over, charming, and manipulative.
The middle child: has less of a clear-cut role in the family; instead, she often makes a place for herself outside the family, creating a network of close friends, venturing away from the family physically, and breaking the mold intellectually as well.

The only child: often has characteristics both of first children (capable, perfectionistic) and of youngest children (attention-seeking, self-centered).
