Birth Order Traits

I heard a blurb about birth order on the John Tesh Radio Show (don't make fun!). According to Dr. Kevin Leman, author of The Birth Order Connection, birth order and behavior are linked. His findings definitely relate to our personalities!

FIRST BORNS (Katie) are natural leaders and high achievers, traits which stem from a sense of entitlement and superiority. They pay attention to detail and are organized. But they can be moody and insensitive to others’ feelings. They’re also bad at delegating, because they don’t trust others as much as they trust themselves. That’s why they’re often stressed out--in control, but stressed out.

MIDDLE CHILDREN (Eric) are people pleasers who hate confrontation. They’re usually calm, down to earth and great listeners, and they make excellent negotiators. Middle kids are usually less driven firstborns, but more eager to be liked--that’s why they have trouble setting limits.

Sound familiar?
