First Born- Over half of all U.S. Presidents were First Borns or Only Children
- First Borns are natural leaders - they tend to be reliable, conscientious and perfectionists who don't like surprises.
- They tend to be "model children" who have a strong need for approval from anyone in charge
- They tend to be company CEOs.
Only Children- They are first borns but in triplicate!
- They are more responsible and even bigger perfectionists than first borns.
- They usually get along better with people older than themselves.
Middle Child- The middle often feels the older siblings get all the glory while the younger sibling escapes all discipline.
- The middle child feels the world pays less attention to them so they are more secretive and don't openly share their thoughts and feelings.
- The middle child tends to go outside the family more for companionship so their friends and peer groups are very important.
- They usually read people well and are peacemakers who see all sides to the situation; they're independent and inventive-they tend to be entrepreneurs rather than CEOs.
Last Born- The babies of the family are social and outgoing.
- They are the most financially irresponsible - they just want to have a good time.
- Many comedians are the last borns of their families - they know charm pays!
- Last borns tend to be the least responsible of the siblings and can be easily spoiled.
