Does the order in which you are born affect the way you are?

I heard this theory and wanted to test it - They say the 1st born child is the academic one - they love to go to school and learn (whether they are good at it is irrelevant here) they try very hard at it. The 2nd born is the socialite - they love school but only for the socialising it brings, they also love to "collect" friends and tend to have many acquaintances. The third born is the different one, they seem to have been here before, they think way outside that box and also tend to be the one that will try out the alternate lifestyle. They like to help and make everybody around them feel happy. The 4th is the laid back one who has a quick wit and will generally go along with most things but they do like their me time. Do any of your family members fit into these, mine do. By the way the 5th born goes back to being the 1st born. I love to know the ages of the people that don't fit but an answer would be just great.

well i am the first born and i hated school. never did my work or studied. i regret it now though. since i was 9 when my brother was born and 11 when my twin sisters were born i took on the role of second mom/dad. because their dad was always working. i never really had much of a childhood.

One against the theory - thanks for your honesty, good luck in the future.
