I did an online test that asked you things about your personality and then said what place you came in the familiy. It correctly said that I was the youngest child. So I guess I am a reasonably typical youngest child.

Do you remember the link at all?

Eldest of Three.

squrm · 01-08-2005 12:46PM

Middle of 3 & the oldest male

Bit of an age gap to junior & hence he's spoilt rotten.

little sh*t

Stark · 01-08-2005 12:49PM

Eldest of 3. The other two are spoilt rotten also.

Flashling · 01-08-2005 12:55PM

Middle of three, only girl. It sucks, because when my Mom's away, I get "Mom said you have to make the dinner/do the ironing/clean the kitchen, for I don't know how."

So...much...rage...

Ruaidhri · 01-08-2005 01:15PM

arbeitsscheuer · 01-08-2005 01:16PM

Youngest of 7.
That's SEVEN.

Spoilt/Ignored in equal measure. I am a disappointment (cos all the rest set a pretty high standard IMO).

NotMe · 01-08-2005 01:46PM

Eldest of five. The things those feckers get away with that I would have got in sh*t over. :rolleyes:

The younger siblings had it easier, and turned out to be me more well-adjusted adults. Coz I rebelled around the age of 12 and made my parents cop on and gave them tips on how to be a good parent!!

Sucks, doesn't it?

What pisses me off most is that the younger sibling is an unpleasant little bastard and it's passed off as "normal adolescent behaviour", whereas with me it would have been cause for a good slapping.

tell them to **** off or confront your mother. confrontation would sort it out

Guzzler · 01-08-2005 02:05PM

Youngest of 4. Being the youngest is the worst, the older ones try to have a say in everything I do like what career to choose, school to go to. Its gone to the stage where I don't tell them anyhting I'm doing like exams results because good or bad they'll have an opinion.

Waltons · 01-08-2005 02:13PM

Spoilt only child

monkeyfudge · 01-08-2005 02:42PM

I'm the deformed child they keep locked in the attic and feed a bucket of fish heads to once a week.

bopper · 01-08-2005 02:54PM

I'm the oldest of three, but I was an only child for 13 years so I'm a spoilt ****.

Badly Drunk Boy · 01-08-2005 03:31PM

Second of five (but beloved).

I'm also Godfather of the fifth of the five.

Third_Echelon · 01-08-2005 03:39PM

Eldest of 3 (I'm 24 m), 2 younger brothers of 20 and 12.

I'm also the eldest grandchild on both sides of the family, so I had to set the example. As other posters have said, I was the acid test for all the cr@p that the others have sailed through... the lectures, the punishments, the pocket money depression of the 80's etc etc

I had to do everything first...

But all my younger siblings and cousins etc get the... well look what T_E did(college, degree, job etc)... then i get the stares...

chillywilly · 01-08-2005 03:44PM

im 17th of 52 children....all i want is some love....

LittleMissLogic · 01-08-2005 04:43PM

I have a brother and two sisters. We're all best friends. We're very close. Oh wait, I've two brothers. Forgot about that other one. We're all very close though.

tSubh Dearg · 01-08-2005 04:54PM

I'm the elder of 2, both of us girls. I would be more responsible than my sister and have a bit more cop on. She benefits on the financial side though, got more pocketmoney/tooth fairy money than I ever did and also less of the lectures.

Badly Drunk Boy · 01-08-2005 05:09PM

As I just said, I'm the 2nd of 5. When I was a student (on a grant) my elder sister (who was in full-time employment) was getting loans fron me....

(She probably paid me back)

I googled, and I think that is it.

edit: Yes that is the test i was thinking of, on closer inspection.

Here are the results that were easily accessible (missing only child description)

Youngest:
Youngest children are very ambitious, very outgoing, and sometimes spoiled. They are great entertainers and have good senses of humor.

Middle:
Even tempered, with a perfectionist streak! You want to fight social injustice. You are intelligent and serious and sometimes feel used or misunderstood by others.

Oldest:
Responsible to a fault, or maybe just authoritative and bossy, the oldest children make good parents themselves. Oldest children place a lot of importance on respect and responsibility, and often work hard to earn love and respect from authority figures.

Rabies · 01-08-2005 08:10PM

Said I'm a middle child.

Even tempered, with a perfectionist streak! You want to fight social injustice. You are intelligent and serious and sometimes feel used or misunderstood by others. If this test got you totally wrong, it might suggest that personality is dependent on more elements of family dynamics than just birth order. Gender, marital status of parents and age difference all make a difference, too. Perhaps this test should be refined...
