Oldest Child
In school, first-borns tend to work harder for grades than do later-borns. They often grow to be more competitive and to have higher educational and career aspirations. Any enumeration of prominent people, eminent scholars, even presidents of the United States contains a high percent of first-borns. Confident: All that attention over everything you do makes you more likely to believe in yourself. Averagely confident Determined: Because your family might depend on you to get things done, you're probably good about finishing the projects you start. not very determined in any way, very laid back Born Leader: Whether on the soccer field or in the classroom, you are often in charge. Oldest children are usually given the responsibility of baby-sitting and taking care of the house, so they get early training in being the boss. again laid back, let others take the lead, Organized: You probably know where to find things, like your books, your Mom's keys, or your homework assignment. Even if your folders are a little messy, it's likely that you have a system. very very unorganised, i usually throw things down and search for them later Eager to Please: It's easy for oldest children to fall into this routine because they started out with a very strong need for Mom and Dad's approval, and eventually this spilled over to other adults such as teachers or coaches. When there's a job to be done, it's usually a first-born who jumps up and says "I'll do it!" definitely not eager to please, i dont feel the need too, and dont really care what others think of me. Likes to Avoid Trouble: When people expect a great deal from you, it can be hard to speak up or complain about something. You might not want to be seen as causing problems or less than "perfect" i do complain/comment if something is wrong and i doubt anyone thinks im perfect, i have a tendency to be myself dont cause that much trouble but i dont avoid it either heh This personality thing is pretty much the opposite of what i am, and while it maybe true for some if aint for me theres loads other stuff that shapes your personality
