Birth Order & Personality

*First-borns*

Positives: They are natural leaders and often high achievers. The majority of politicians, spokespersons and managing directors are first-borns. They frequently live with a sense of entitlement and even superiority. They often come in two flavours: compliant nurturers/caregivers or aggressive movers and shakers.

Both are in control; they just use different methods. As a rule, first-borns are picky, precise people - they pay attention to detail - tend to be punctual, organised, and competent. They want to see things done right the first time. They don't like surprises.

Negatives: They are often moody and occasionally lack sensitivity. They can be intimidating, particularly by pushing people too hard or refusing to take no for an answer.
Sometimes they can be a bit 'know-it-all', and often they are poor at delegating - largely because they don't trust other people as much as they trust themselves. They also tend to be bossy, perfectionists and overly-conscientious.

This is me!! I am the nuturer/caregiver....hence, why I am a nurse and a mother of 4!!

I also get into trouble with my husband because I never ask for help, I always want to do things myself....then I get overwhelmed for everything I am doing on my own.

I, FOR SURE, am an Alpha Dominant first born (first to survive, anyway). I am meticulous and aggressive. You want it done and done right? I'm your gal.
