Birth Order Traits

You are who you are because of when you were born

Whether you're the first born, a middle child, or the youngest may have a real affect on who you are. Typical personality traits have been identified with birth order. Each can be considered a strength, or weakness; that's up to you to determine.

The traits for each birth order are listed below, followed by a link to an article that elaborates on their strengths or weaknesses. When doing a self evaluation, consider each one and decide if it is a strength or weakness as far as you are concerned. If it is a weakness, what changes would you make to improve in that area? If it's a strength, how could you capitalize on it even further?
