I'm the youngest. I have two other brothers, one is 9 years older than me and the other is 4 years older. I also have two other siblings that died before birth.

With my full sisters I'm a middle child. Counting my dads 'new' kids I'm second born. I'm close to my 1/2 siblings so I never call them 1/2 when talking about them.

Sister 29
Me 27
Sister 22
1/2 Sister 10
1/2 Brother 8
1/2 Sister 3

Youngest.

The above doesn't even come close to describing me!

* Risk takers
- Not even close! I'm probably the safest person that I know!

* Outgoing
- Depends on the situation.

* Idea people
- Again, depends on what the topic is.

* Creative
- Very much so

* Sense of Humor
- Depends. But I do love to laugh

* Feels everyone is more competent
- Definitely not! I know there are stupid people out there and have little patience for them.

* Expects others to do things for them
- Definitely not! I am very uncomfortable when people do things for me.

* Feels small and weaker
- Not usually. Before I started on anti depressants a few years ago that was true.

* May not be taken seriously in the family
- True! I'm 44 and to this day when there is news in the family my brother is the one that is contacted and it's up to him to let me know!


* Gets their own way
- No.

* Competitive
- I'm the least competitive person that I know. Sports, games ... anything, to me it's just about having fun.

* If younger of three allies with oldest against middle
- N/A I only have an older brother.

* May be jealous of privileges older children have
- No. My brother and I are in different places in life due to our chosen paths and age. Nothing to be jealous of. We both do well enough with our lives.

* May push older kids buttons by manipulation
- Actually, it's the other way around. My brother can be highly manipulative.

* Often the class clown
- No. While I love to laugh I don't like being front and centre with anything. Class clowns seek to be centre stage and in the lime light. That's definitely not me.

My baby brother is turning 15 in 3 weeks too! He makes me feel very old since hes also getting his permit and thats all he talks about. Im 5 years older then him but most people think we are around the same age.

I am such an only!!!!
Always have been. My ex-hubby was a first-born to the core, and an only son -- probably explains why we always butted heads!!


I used to have the book on this, but i think I loaned it out and never got it back
It really is fascinating how most people's personalities follow their birth order. I also liked the section in my book where they talked about birth-order compatibility.

I'm the youngest. I have an oldest sister, then brother and sister who are twins, then another brother, then an older sister than me. Our birth order was girl, girl, boy, boy, girl, girl.. ^_^

I chose "oldest", but in a way I'm also an "only". I was an only child until the age of 8 when my sister was born, and 9 when my brother was born. So I'm the worst of all worlds, and "only oldest". And my hubby is an only. Yikes, I'm amazed we get along at all!
