Birth Order Traits



What the Research Shows

Evidence Showing Accuracy/Inaccuracy

Highly motivated

I agree with this because as the older sibling you always want to set a good example for the young ones. Personally it motivates me to do better in school and persevere in sports. I am highly motivated to reach the personal goals I have, and most of the time I have reached my goals and gone beyond it.

Goal oriented

I agree with this research. Older siblings usually have goals they are highly motivated reach because, again, they want to be a role model for the younger siblings. For example I have a goal of making the basketball varsity team and have stuck to it by working hard. This also applies to me for my goal of going to a university. Idon’t let myself get distracted from school work/activities, it is one of my number one priorities.

Perfectionistic

I agree with this because, especially on school things I hate turning work in if its not my best. I always have to fix things up and make it look good. On projects, my project has to be creative and looking the best I can make it or else I am not satisfied with myself.

conscientious

I agree with this in the sense of doing ones work or duty. I have a “duty” as an older sibling to be a role model. My parents are tough on me to where I always have to help my brother or be a good example since its like a big sister rule.

Stubborn

I agree with this. I am probably one of the most stubbornest people in the world. When I have my mind made up its difficult to change it. I can be stubborn with my family the most because they are used to it. If I get mad or something I get attitude and when I have an attitude I pretty much probably going to disagree with anything you say.

Self sacrificing

I agree with this because I love to volunteer and help people out. I am always willing to take time to help my brother or anyone who asks for help. I love to volunteer anywhere because I just like helping out for anything really.

Compliant

I disagree with this in my case. I do not always obey the rules or go with what people say. Honestly I do my own thing and if I get in trouble I almost always find my way out. Being the oldest I always try to have my own say and just be free.

Unforgiving

I disagree with this in my case because I just forget about it. I eventually let it go because I will try to get even or I try not to always worry about holding grudges. It just takes too much work to hold a grudge.

Well organized

I disagree with this completely. My room is always messing and I struggle to keep it clean. Whereas y younger sibling keeps theirs clean for the most part. My desk is also disorganized, like I have papers pencils and just a bunch of stuff everywhere but I like to say a messy desk is a true sign of a genius
