CAN YOUR BIRTH ORDER CHANGE
YOUR PERSONALITY?
According to Dr. Kevin Leman if you’re obedient, a high achiever, status conscious, and if you like to please your parents but don’t like taking risks, you’re probably a first born. You could be in a responsible job, possibly as a teacher, a priest or even a politician. Middle children often feel the opposite of their older brothers and sisters – that they don’t have a role in the family. They like taking risks and try to escape by making lots of friends. Being quite independent, they often get jobs far away from their families. They’re usually very ambitious and successful. If you are the youngest, you’re probably affectionate, unselfish, sociable, a rebel and you like to entertain people.
If last borns tend to take conventional jobs, as lawyers or scientists, they are likely to be radical or rebellious members of their professions. What about if you’ve behaved like an adult since you were very young, set yourself high standards; you’re good at motivating yourself and feel more comfortable with people older or younger than yourself? Then you’re probably an only child.
