birth order
I've heard (although not given THAT much credibility to) the notion that a person's birth order plays a role in who you are. Given the preponderence of what I would describe as "Type A personalities" at AI , I was curious where everyone falls.
For example, I am the third of four, although a very spread out four.

Paul brings up a good point: I'm the only boy.
my sister is 4 years older then me and my brother is 3 years younger...
I'm #1, I'm #1, I'm #1, I'm #1, I'm #1
The only thing i can say, is that parents give in general a strict education to their first child, and tend to be more cool, for the ones coming later. In some way they give up

As my father and my sister have been only "mistakes" those rules don't apply. my dad and mom were the first childs, the others of their broters and sisters have more sense of humor ...

So you recieve the education of a "first" child, something not very funny and rigid if i have understanded you correctly.

I'm the baby
My wife has a book on all this. It even tells who the best marriages are between. My wife and I are a good combo' only + baby.
Giaguara you are considered an only due to the age difference between you and your sister.
Then again, there are more 1st born children than 2nd born children...
What is a "type A" personality?
The three of us were so close to the same age that we all pretty much went through the same treatment from our parents.
But, being a mac person makes me the smartest one, and I am the best looking too!

yes. 2 mistakes so i'm the first, kind of ... if the attempts to rescue a marriage count as children. overprotective, authoritarian parents that still manage to suck all the energy out of me in 2 minutes when ever they call me...
(understanded? it's "understood" )

Birth order matters a lot. And before anyone jumps down my throat there are always exceptions. Oldest, middle, baby all follow classic patterns. For example the middle kid is said to be more independent of the family, more out going, more friends, more activities away from the house. That's my sister. I think more US Presidnets/CEO/ect/ are oldests. Onlys have their own thing going on.

Scott, I'm really interested in that book. If you wouldn't mind finding out the title I'd appreciate it.
I'm the middle and what you said fits me exactly.
