Are you that “middle child”? Perhaps you were the first born, or the youngest? Wherever you are in the pecking order, your birth order says a lot about your personality.<\/h3>\n

We’ve all heard that theory about the dreaded “middle child syndrome”, or “only child behaviour”\u2026 These are all old wives tales from way back. <\/p>\n

But did you know that your birth order says a lot about your personality for REAL?<\/p>\n

Yep. Read and weep:<\/p>\n

The Firstborn<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stereotype: <\/strong>You’re a natural leader, ambitious, responsible.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/strong> The oldest child goes through a short period before baby number 2 is born, where they have no competition for mum and dad’s attention. Studies show that the firstborn has actually two or three more IQ points than the next child – AND they tend to be surrogate style parents for their siblings.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Middle Child<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stereotype:<\/strong> Social butterfly, obsessed with fairness, peacekeeper<\/p>\n

Why? <\/strong>Middle borns apparently don’t have the same rights as the oldest or the privileges of the youngest. So they become experts in negotiation and compromise – they lean on their friends more, as their parents’ attention is usually honed in on the youngest child.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Baby<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stereotype: <\/strong>Free spirit, risk taker, charming<\/p>\n

Why? <\/strong>Parents tend to be less cautious with the youngest child, and they usually have more resources when they’re starting out because the kids before them have broken that ice. Parents are more lenient by the time the baby rolls around, they still get lots more attention but they have less rules.<\/p>\n
