Examining the effects of birth order on personality. While this research does not mean that birth order has no impact on personality, it does suggest that further investigation is needed. The study found little evidence supporting any connection between birth order and character. While the researchers did find that first-born children tended to score better on intelligence tests, they also looked at how birth order influences self-reported information on the five broad dimensions of personality: extraversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness. The study looked at more than 5,000 Americans, almost 4,500 British participants, and more than 10,000 German participants. First-borns tend to associate with other first-borns, middle-borns with other middle-borns, and last-borns with last-borns.Īnother study published in the journal PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences) suggested that many of the stereotypes associated with birth order, such as first-borns being bossy or last-borns being irresponsible, don't necessarily hold water. One study even found that birth order can influence your choices of friends and romantic partners.
