What is your birth order in the family?


I am the first born, of a first born of a first born of a first born.

Not only the oldest child, but the oldest (first) grandchild. The default spokesperson, so to speak, of my generation of my family.

I am the third child of a third child.

do you think there is any correlation between birth order and personality? (not necessarily typology personality stuff)

I think this firstborness is something that has promoted my being able to take firm and sudden confident charge of situations involving the need for authority, especially when it comes to dealing with the situations people I care for manage to need help with, despite my INTPish disinclination to do so most of the time.

Yes, I think there's something to it. I and my older sister, who is 2nd-born, definitely show traits of middle children. So did my late father.

However, what's interesting, is that although the first-borns are more confident, the middle-children seem to show far more capability in a whole slew of occupations and areas of interest.

So it's a case of "different, not better".
