This is how the order you were born in shapes your personality



According to the poem Monday’s Child, Wednesday’s child is full of woe, and Thursday’s child has far to go. But it seems as though it’s not on which day you were born that shapes your personality, but, according to psychologists, it’s the order in which you were born into your family which shapes the adult you will become.

There are a number of theories as to why this is the case. Most center around the fact that parents will raise their kids differently depending on their level of experience as parents. Couple that with the relationship to their other siblings, and it is clear to see that there is a science to the theory.

This also goes some way to explaining how siblings, who share all the same genes and the same parents, could grow up to have such wildly varying personalities.

So which child are you, and how well does the scientific theory describe your personality?
