YES I am exactly like the middle child description! However, DH and I are both middle children and it says we may have communication issues. We do but the ONLY reason we do is because DH is half-deaf hahaha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-does-your-personalitytraits-relate-to-your-birth-order#post-374762 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 11:11:52 +0000 Mrs. Pen 374762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alayaya: my mom said that in the birth order book she read, if there is more than a 5 or 8 year (can't remember which) difference between the youngest and next youngest, the birth order starts all over again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-does-your-personalitytraits-relate-to-your-birth-order#post-372144 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 12:53:01 +0000 birdofafeather 372144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm the oldest and definitely type-a, responsibility of everything, people pleaser. i LOVE hearing about birth order because i think it's so interesting. not like a horoscope, but just knowing how people normally are and why and how to interact.</p> <p>a great book on it is this: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-New-Birth-Order-Book/dp/0800756797" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/The-New-Birth-Order-Book/dp/0800756797</a></p> <p>and i found a quick PDF round up of the different types: <a href="http://www3.ag.purdue.edu/counties/delaware/Documents/birthorderpkglesson.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www3.ag.purdue.edu/counties/delaware/Documents/birthorderpkglesson.pdf</a></p> <p>my siblings and i totally fall into the categories mentioned in the book. and DH and i are "the perfect match" because i'm the oldest and he's the youngest. although he's the only boy in his family, so there are other atributes that go along with that role. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-does-your-personalitytraits-relate-to-your-birth-order#post-372128 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 12:48:01 +0000 HLK208 372128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest sister fits the type A personality in the sense she's short fused but she is probably the most disorganized person I've ever known.</p> <p>The two middle sisters are a little bit more type B but they are really organized.</p> <p>I'm the youngest and I really don't think I aim for being the center of attention. I have always felt older than I am because I have kept up with my sisters even though they're 10, 7 and 5 years older than me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-does-your-personalitytraits-relate-to-your-birth-order#post-372106 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 12:39:28 +0000 JerricaBenton 372106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the oldest and a definite Type-A. My brother is the youngest and he is Type-B. My husband is the youngest but he is a Type-A, but he has a LOT of years between him and his closest sibling (oopsie baby!) so he was almost an only as far as childhood experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-does-your-personalitytraits-relate-to-your-birth-order#post-372096 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 12:37:01 +0000 Alivoo01 372096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the eldest and am a total Type-A person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-does-your-personalitytraits-relate-to-your-birth-order#post-372062 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 12:25:01 +0000 alayaya 372062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if I fit into the traditional "youngest" role.</p> <p>My oldest sister was always amazing at school, and she is totally neurotic and type A</p> <p>My older brother was a deviant child. He got kicked out of the house at 16.</p> <p>I'm quite a few years younger than them (16 and 13) so I was raised almost as an only child. I spent a lot of time on my own or sitting around listening to adults talk. I think that has made me very reserved and mature for my age. I don't like attention at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-does-your-personalitytraits-relate-to-your-birth-order#post-371742 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 10:24:30 +0000 Mrs. Pen 371742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my family it's so evident who is the oldest, youngest and middle.</p> <p>My older sister is very particular, clean, organized, "a type", rational and logical. She was academically skilled and introverted. </p> <p>I was the third, middle child and I totally fit it! I was the creative and free spirited one, I didn't follow rules, had no boundaries, very extroverted, friendly, ambiguous and a dreamer. Hate conflict, being teased/picked on, etc. The one thing I didn't fit was that I wasn't a people pleaser (common for middle child) - I didn't care what people thought so I did my own thing. </p> <p>The youngest in my family is SUCH A DIVA. Totally the youngest and you can tell - craves attention, dramatic, a performer, outgoing, and loves doing "big kid things" with the siblings. </p> <p>I was trying to find a site that provided more accurate or detailed descriptions of birth order but couldn't find anything. so my descriptions were all going off of my knowledge :) </p>
