Stole this meme from Marianne, who featured it yesterday:
First Born Children
The first born child is usually the child with the most attention directed at him/her. This common event is part of the reason this particular child turns out the way he/she does. There are two typical types of first born children, compliant and aggressive. The first born in your family can be either one of these two types, and have these typical traits:
Compliant Traits
People Pleasers
Crave Approval
Nurturers
Caregivers
Reliable
Concientious
Cooperative
Team Players
"Grin and bear it" mentality
Aggressive Traits
Movers and shakers
Natural leaders
Perfectionists
Driven
Conventional
Always have things under control
Assertive
Want things their way
These two types of first born children may seem very different, but they do share quite a few characteristics:
Common Traits
Energetic
Logical
Ambitious
Enterprising
Scholarly
And oh yes, this is pretty accurate, as far as I'm concerned! What about you??

I'm guessing you weren't the "compliant" one, LOLOL...
I'm my father's first born and my traits are more compliant, but I do have some of the agressive traits as well.
I'm the middle child with an older sister and younger brother. Not sure what it says about me.
I was the fifth child and the youngest. My siblings were: 21,19, 15, and sister closest to me in age was almost 10 when I was born. I actually fit some of the first born qualities since I came along so much later.
I was the first born in the first marriage, but the second-born in the second marraige when a step-sib was added.
Does that make me a one-and-a-half born?
