What's your Birth Order?

Hi scorpio, actually I am the oldest but relate to the middle siter, and my middle is more like the oldest in character..am not sure about my youngest sister though!! hugs littleowl

i also agree with you, i think this is true. Im the oldest and I am also like that but i think it depends upon the attention and care of the parents that they are giving to their child.

This is an interesting one. I am the oldest. I share but can be controlling. I like to be dominated but dominate. I am usually non-confrontational and will share my last Rolo with anyone. But I do have feelings of responsibility and sometimes think that everything is all my fault. My daughter is an only child and is a great sharer. As a girl we used to insist that she shared her sweets say; and she'd often do such a good job that she would end up with none for herself! The Boss is a middle child and I would say fits the description exactly. She also can be tough and doesn't shy away from confrontation. Her younger brother is more like and eldest child based on Adler. (He wasn't any relation of Larry Adler the mouth organist?!!)

Hi scorpio, Coming from a large family of six children and I am the second youngest, I was forgotton about as everyone including myself give a lot of attention to our youngest sibling, my oler brother is a black sheep of the family so he got all the attention and fuss from my mother because he was her favourite, although mum always says she has not favourites, but I know he was, so really I was the outsider and always outside looking in and had to work darn hard to achive my goal without any help, where else my family tells me oh you can't do this, you can't do that, and just left me alone. Love and hugs. Tamara xxxxx

Hi ya scorpio19 Well I am the youngest in my family and I do agree with what is said about the youngest child apart from the 'poor social empathy' can you see me to be a person that doesn't take others feelings in to concideration? I am always thinking of others before myself, I think being a mother does that to you not your position in the family!! I would say that my middle child is pretty much as you have said. There is such a thing as middle child syndrome and he seems to follow that pattern too!!

Among my 9 siblings im the oldest, and how strange this characteristics really described me. OLDEST: analytical, detailed, methodical, values control, may be authoritarian/strict, feelings of excessive responsibility. And i do agree with you. Happy posting.

LOL im an only child, and I love getting things MY way hehehehe but the rest not that true I dont mind sharing things as long as Im asked FIRST.

I am the eldest child. I was raised with one of my brothers, a year and a half younger. I have more sibling that I wasn't raised with but that is a long story. I do have to agree that I am analytical and have feelings of responsibility. Control was something I didn't have and didn't even try to have under the abuse of my adoptive parents. I would have prefered invisibility. I can't say that I am strict or methodical. I think that would cut back on my creative nature. My brother took rebellion to the extreme. He is not a good person. So I also have to agree it has to do with upbringing and the environment in which we are raised. Blessings, Carolyn (LLA)

Yes, I definitely think birth order has an effect, Scorpio! My husband and I are BOTH eldest children and we are both reliable, organised and sensible. My parents are BOTH only children, and are very insular - preferring their own company and not wanting to make friends or have any social life. Our eldest was definitely an attention seeker, whereas the second girl was a thinker who never wanted attention (still doesn't) and enjoys daredevil activities. She didn't have any competitive streak, but just allowed her elder sister to 'get on with it', preferring to go about her own business and quietly become her own person without any fanfare. The third daughter primps and preens and likes to look her best all the time - she's extremely social, can't bear to be alone for a minute and makes friends with everybody! Our youngest is a boy - he was treated to his sisters fussing over him, and if we told him off, they'd feel sorry for him and tell us to leave him alone - hahha! He's NOT organised, NOT independent and is a total dreamer. Maybe if he'd been our firstborn, it would be a different story! It's a very interesting topic!

hello scorpio i am the YOUNGEST: excitement seekers who crave attention; have huge plans that never work out; maybe overindulged, poor social empathy and i do have to agree with that as well. it seems like every time that i get involved in something business wise, it always falls through somehow. and i am not a very social person at all at get togethers or social events that i might attend. but once i get to know a person thou i am a very friendly person to be around. take care and have a beautiful evening.

I'm the youngest, in some point I agree to that theory like having huge plan that never work out. I just hate planning! If it is possible to do something so close to perfection without planning it... Thanks for sharing this!

I am the oldest in the family. But I don't believe I possess any of the qualities mentioned. I can say I'm more of the characteristics mentioned in the middle child. I think it's really based on how you were raised by your parents and the different factors around you when your growing up. It can be environmental factors, social, emotional and psychological facotrs that affects your attitude in life. Anyway, have a nice day!

I'm an oldest child, but it doesn't really reflect my character all that well. I am responsible, analytical and detailed, but as for control and being strict, I'm not really like that. But it's just a theory, so it can't apply to everyone.

hi scorpio, I have elder sister and I am the second.I m puzzled as to which category i belong to either the "second" or "youngest".I don't think theories actually play an important role in one's life.Its about individuality ,one's own unique characteristics.Not necessary that children in "only child" category are spoilt ones.According to me we can't judge a person by some theory.But as per ur survey,i m no attention seeker.I dislike conflicts.Ya at times i become rebellious.;););) good day!!!!!!!
