Second-Borns More Independent that Elder Siblings

Second-borns have more pronounced traits such as independence and an inclination to adventure, while elder siblings are more conservative.

Second-born children have a greater possibility of becoming rebellious than their more conservative elder siblings, a new study has shown, the Telegraph reported. 

Scientists have discovered that first-borns are more adaptable than their younger siblings who are more independent.

Experts claim that this is another study that confirms that the order in which children are born has great impact on the children’s personalities.

Scientists arrived at these conclusions after studying the personality profiles of 360 children. They also studied the children’s testosterone levels and asked the children to keep diaries of their activities outside of school.
