How birth order influences your personality

THE OLDEST CHILD

Firstborn children often have to look after their younger brothers and sisters, so they're usually sensible and responsible as adults.

They also tend to be ambitious, and they make good leaders. On the negative side, oldest children can be insecure and anxious. This is because -1-H. when the second child was born, they lost some of their parents' attention, and maybe they felt rejected

THE MIDDLE CHILD

Middle children are more relaxed than the oldest children, probably because -2- C. their parents were more relaxed themselves by the time the second child arrived. They're usually very sociable - the kind

of people who get on with everybody. They are also usually sensitive to what other people need, because -3-A. they grew up between older and younger brothers and sisters. For the same reason, they're often quite good at sorting out arguments, and they're always sympathetic to the ones on the losing side, or in general, to people who are having problems. On the other hand, middle children can sometimes be unambitious, and they can lack direction in life.

THE YOUNGEST CHILD

Youngest children are often very outgoing and charming. This is the way they try to get the attention of both their parents and their older brothers and sisters. They are often more rebellious, and this is probably because

-4-B. it's easier for them to break the rules - by the time they were born, their parents were more relaxed about discipline. They can also be immature and disorganized, and they often depend too much on other people, because -5-E. they have always been the baby of the family.

THE ONLY CHILD

Only children usually do very well at school, because they have a lot of contact with adults. They get a lot of love and attention from their parents, so they're typically self-confident. They're also independent, as they spend so much time by themselves. And because -6-F. they spend a lot of time with adults, they're often very organized. Only children can sometimes be spoilt, because -7-D. they are given everything they ask for by their parents. They can also be quite selfish and get impatient, especially when things go wrong. This is because -8-G. they've never had to sort out problems with other brothers and sisters.
