After learning the basics of birth order I wanted to do more research on what birth order does specifically to your personality traits. To start off with the oldest child studies have shown that they are more cautious, controlling, and high achievers. This is due to the fact that first-born children strive for perfection and want approval from their parents. Which is very true in my case I was never as adventurous as my younger siblings and I always wanted to impress my parents. The middle child has a more happy go lucky personality since they have to be in the middle all the time. Also they tend to be peacemakers to keep their siblings balanced want to please everyone since the middle child never gets all the attention from people. Which means they have larger social circles that is very true my little sister has way more friends in elementary school than I ever had. Moving on to the youngest who are very outgoing my brother makes a friend everywhere we go he isn't afraid to hide his free spirit. Although last-born are outgoing they are also very self centered since they are the baby and the world practically revolves around them. It is true in my family every store we would go to my brother would still end up getting toy. This made my sister and I very jealous and according to studies most of these traits stay with you as you grow into an adult. Finally, the only child who are perfectionists and leaders since they did not grow up with siblings they are used to being in charge. I have a cousin that is an only child and he wanted everything his way or the highway. This research was very interesting and I found most of these traits to be true which is shocking that birth order can help shape what kind of person you become.
