Dunno about firstborn but I've had other mental reservation ref the birth circumstances of one or two colleagues :rolleyes:

Eldest of three. Other two married and have produced curtain swingers but I've managed to avoid the trap so far.

You can't hit a moving target.

Youngest. And as for older siblings being more mature I would like to dispel that myth, certainly in the case of my siblings!
I understand that pilots are in general good all rounders rather than Mensa members, and creative, many are musicians (to some degree). Perhaps people could comment on that?

Oldest of two.

Not a wannabe, but a willbe :)

E cam 29th June 2000 23:15

Last of 4 - that's why I'm a bit dozey then?

Dr Jekyll 29th June 2000 23:25

The notion that pilots are often musicians sounds reasonable, you need reasonable coordination and a sense of timing for both.
But why can't Mensa members be all rounders?
Is being good at IQ tests some kind of disqualification?

Interesting, a majority verdict so far. Very
unscientific though. I never read the book
mentioned but that's probably where this
idea originated. The only real way we
could be sure that birth order had an
effect on our choice of career would
be to trawl the files of an airline.
I think we would be opening a can of
worms though. If airlines began
recruiting on the basis of birth order there
would be a mighty row.
So far it seems it might be true, but then
again maybe it's PPruNe where you find
all the elder children. The young ones
are probably downloading MP3 files on
some bootleg music site.

Hmm maybe a survey based on star signs
might be interesting any takers, I'm a Sagitarrius

Buzzoff 30th June 2000 03:22

Jus' little ol' me - but I'm a Gemini - so there must be two of me!

Slasher 30th June 2000 05:23

Youngest of 3. I was beaten up a lot by my older brothers when I was a kid (which..er..explains a few things...) :)
