What Your Birth Order Says About Your Personality, According To Science
bySarah Bunton
If you've been on the iInternet in the past few years—basically if you haven't been living under a rock—you've most likely seen personality quizzes pop up in your news feed. It seems like everything from your eye color to where you were born supposedly has an impact on who you became as a person. But how accurate are these quizzes. Have you ever wondered what your birth order says about your personality?
Though TV and film love to poke fun at the archetypes of each sibling, there might be some truth behind it. Is Stephanie Tanner still competing for attention and constantly annoying big sister, DJ, on Fuller House? That's what middle children do, right? And the eldest kid seems like they always have to deal with the problems their younger siblings create, like Anna Kendrick's character in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
Oh, and don't forget one of the oldest cliches in the book: the baby of the family gets all the things and bugs everyone around them. I mean, can we talk about Loki in the Thor movies? He basically lives to ruin his older brother's life and isn't happy until he has all the power. Classic youngest sibling trope.
But what about twins? A few minutes probably don't have the same impact as being years older than your sibling. Plus, twins get a bad rap for having a spooky, mental connection (think: The Shining), but is there any merit to that? Check out what the experts have to say on how your birth order affects your personality.
