Birth Order
Azriel | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 12:35 pm  I asked Gu the other day if he was the youngest in his family. He said, yes I think birth order is a big factor in shaping our personalities. I'm a middle child. I have 3 older brothers and a younger sister and brother. What are you? and do you see yourself in the following?: Are you an only child? Only children are more exaggerated versions of oldest children. You are generally super-responsible, confident, and get along great with adults. You always want to be #1, and throw yourself completely into your interests to the point of becoming an expert in them. You're original and daring, and since you've been exposed to lots of different experiences when you were younger, you're also sophisticated and independent, as well as conscientous and reliable. On the negative side, you can be self-centered, a loner and very set in your ways since you've always gotten your own way (no siblings to fight for attention with). Generally you demand perfection from yourself, and expect it from others. BEST CAREERS: Doctor, Architect, Engineer, Researcher. BEST POINT: You're conscientous and reliable. WATCH OUT: You're a total perfectionist at heart. PEOPLE: Chelsea Clinton, Balthazar Getty, Kristy Swanson, Mary Stuart Masterson, Drew Barrymore, Lisa Marie Presley, Courtney-Thorne Smith, Christian Slater, Jonathon Brandis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Naomi Campbell. Are you the Oldest? You're a total over-achiever! You don't let anything slow you down, not even challenges - they just make you more determined to get what you want. You fight for what you want and you're generally serious and responsible. You're a nurturer (caring for younger siblings) but you feel most comfortable with people either a lot older, or a lot younger than you. You're an organized and methodical person. On the negative side, you can be a perfectionist, and sometimes find it hard to say "no" and "I don't know" - you don't want anyone to know that you're not perfect! BEST CAREERS: Scientist, Doctor, Lawyer, Journalist. BEST POINT: You're a goal-oriented achiever. WATCH OUT: You worry too much. PEOPLE: Wil Wheaton, Jenna Von Oy, Kellie Martin, Joey Lawrence, Alyssa Milano, Elisabeth Shue, Scott Weinger, David Lascher, Sebastian Bach, Tori Spelling. Are you a Middle Child? You take pride in being different and may be a rebel. You are a good negotiator, peace-maker, and a great listener. You deal well with people both older and younger than you, as you're patient and tolerant of others. You have a talent for turning your weaknesses into strengths, and you're sensitive. Also, you're very skillful at social interaction and know just how to win and influence people. On the negative side, you're constantly struggling to compete (possibly unconsciously) with older siblings, and you may feel insecure. You find it hard to forgive and forget, and you get embarrassed easily. BEST CAREERS: Psychologist, Social Worker, Teacher. BEST POINT: You're an enthusiastic team player. WATCH OUT: You easily drop people - without giving them a chance to tell their side of the story. PEOPLE: Cindy Crawford, Josie Bissett, Dean Cain, Candace Cameron, Tevin Campbell, Austin O'Brien, Andrew Shue, Luke Perry, Michael Jackson, Princess Diana, Julia Roberts, Matt Dillon. Are you the Youngest? You're the class clown! Generally, you expect attention since you've received it your entire life. Many of you, however, feel that you're not taken seriously. You're fun-loving, affectionate, have a great sense of humor, and are the life of the party. Don't be afraid to show your serious, sensitive side - it'll add to your great personality. On the negative side, you hate to be told that you're wrong, and you really know where to hit people where it hurts. You also often have self-doubt or feelings on insecurity (due to being teased by older siblings). BEST CAREERS: Actress, Movie Critic, Comedian, Salesperson. BEST POINT: You're the fun-loving life of the party. WATCH OUT: You have an all-or-nothing approach to life. PEOPLE: Heather Locklear, Jennie Garth, Chris O'Donnell, Dan Cortese, Shannen Doherty, Brian Austin Green, Jonathon Taylor Thomas. Jason Priestly, Mayim Bialik, Tom Cruise, Neil Patrick Harris. |
Guruchaz | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 12:38 pm  Yep, that's me. In fact, the "class clown" part might be something I carry over and explain in the personal thread soon. |
Azriel | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 12:40 pm  Cool! |
Newamush | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 12:41 pm  I'm the oldest of three, and I am nothing like the above. I am far from being a nurturer. Where did you get this, Az? |
Azriel | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 12:48 pm  Well, New I got it from a webpage that sited another webpage as it's source and that web page doesn't exist. I've seen a similiar one somewhere else and I'll try to find it. It had basically the same info, but didn't have the fun stuff at the bottom of each order. |
Azriel | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 12:53 pm  Here's something else on it New : Birth order isn't a simplistic 1-2-3 system that says all first-borns are equally one way, all second children are another and last-born kids are always just like this or that. These are tendencies and general characteristics that often apply. There are dynamics within families that can change relationships. Variables can affect each family situation. These variables include spacing (the number of years between children), the sex of the child, physical differences, disabilities, the birth order position of parents, any blending of two or more families due to death or divorce and the relationship between parents Birth Order factsheet |
Joni | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 02:01 pm  Growing up I was always the oldest. Definatly an over achiever and a worrier |
Guruchaz | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 02:57 pm  Speaking of Best Careers, I thought about being a successful actress but I hated the thought of shaving my arms and legs everyday so I nixed that idea. |
Azriel | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 03:06 pm  Guru one word for you - NADS! It's fabulous! No nicks, no razor burn just smooth silky legs Follow your dreams! |
Azriel | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 03:11 pm  Oh I forgot to tell you it works on the bikini line, too. That's important if you want that shot at the Baywatch part. |
Juju2bigdog | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 03:13 pm  also, guru, your other daddy Merlin has a certain talent at shaving. Perhaps he could give you some tips.

Azriel | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 03:15 pm  ~winks at Juju~ |
Guruchaz | Tuesday, January 23, 2001 - 04:46 pm  Why Az, I'm shocked! I will not use a product with that name let alone shave there, thank you very much.  |
Guruchaz | Wednesday, January 24, 2001 - 12:32 am  I think I'm out of this thread. The joke is getting beat to death and I've turned to crude humor. LOL! Even unintentionally, I have the ability to ruin a good topic. <snark> Sorry AZ. |
Guruchaz | Wednesday, January 24, 2001 - 12:34 am  I'm curious to hear from the others and what they think of the birth order summaries. |
Misslibra | Wednesday, January 24, 2001 - 02:42 am  I'm the youngest, and I don't agree with the class clown for myself. Nope I was a very quiet good little girl. I never got into trouble or did anything wrong ... LMAO !!!! Ok I couldn't keep a straight face for long before I busted out, and started laughing. I got into trouble, but compare to some kids I was a angel. But I think I fall under the only child, more so then the youngest. |
Elitist | Wednesday, January 24, 2001 - 08:23 am  I am the youngest and this doesn't seem to fit me too much at all. Except Tom Cruise and I do share a lot of characteristics. Go NADS! |
Merlin | Friday, January 26, 2001 - 07:20 pm  I am the oldest of 5 children. This pegs me to perfection except for a couple of things. I say "I don't know" a lot. I don't worry. |
Spamgirl | Friday, January 26, 2001 - 07:35 pm  I think y'all can figure out what I am. |
