How many siblings do you have?  Are they older or younger?  What about FI/DH, does he have any siblings and ar ethey older/younger?

Do you think you fit your "birth order" personality?  CLICK HERE!

I'm an only child.  I do fit the "birth order" personality well except I'm not a complete perfectionist anymore.

My FI has one brother that's older than him and a "sister" but his sister isn't biological and they didn't know each other until they were about 14 (she's younger than him).  My FI also fits with the first born personality but his brother is 7 years older than him and is very immature so my FI became the responsible one.

I have one sister who is two years younger than me. She's my best friend.

FI has a HUGE family. He has four older siblings, three older half siblings, and one younger half sibling. 

I think I fit in with my birth order personality. My sister definitely fits in with hers.

I love birth order "science"!

I'm an only child, and definitely fit that type. I get down on myself if things aren't perfect and consider myself quite responsible.

FI is a bit of a mix. Technically, he's a youngest child, but his half sister is 8 or 9 years older and didn't always live with him growing up. Also, he grew up in the same house as his younger cousin for high school, so in some ways he's a middle child. That's how I like to think of him at least :-)

Oldest child with a brother and a sister

FI is the oldest with a brother and a sister....

We are both soooooo "oldest" child...this may be why we butt heads so much LOL

I have an older brother who's three years older as does DH.

I am so not the youngest child by their birth order personality stuff.  But I think a lot of this is because my brother acted out a lot growing up and I made myself become "the perfect child."  I got good grades, never got in trouble, etc.  I made a conscious effort not to put my parents through what they went through with my brother.  But looking back I was a huge brat too so there's that.

DH doesn't really fit the last born stuff either.  He idolizes his big brother and wants BIL to be impressed with him.  But at the same time DH is more responsible than BIL.

I have an older brother (5 years older) and an older sister (3 years older). I am social and outgoing like the birth order personality mentioned (maybe that's why I was first to get married?) but I am not financially irresponsible at all. I think I'm the least in debt out of the 3 of us, haha. 

DH is an only child and is not a perfectionist at all.

I'm the middle child - I have an older and younger sister. I would say I fit the middle child personality pretty well (I'm not really a family person, I have a TON of social groups and friends though).

FI has an older brother and a younger step-brother (who didn't come into the picture till he was in his late teens). I think his personality mostly fits with the youngest child profile.

I am the oldest child. I have a younger brother who is 4 years younger and a sister who is 7.5 years younger.

The description of the first born fits me exactly. As well as the other descriptions fit my siblings. That is pretty crazy.

My FI has a sister who is 4 years older than him. He is the youngest child but does not fit the description really at all. He doesn't mind being in the 'limelight' but he is far from spoiled and babied.

I have a younger sister and brother. I fit the oldest child for sure but also does the baby of the family my brother. My sister is your typical middle child. 

Fi has an older sister. They fit into the birth order personality perfectly.

I am the epitome of the middle child---I've got 1 sister 6 years older than me and 1 sister 2 years younger. It's wild. In addition to all the personality things that make me the odd one out there's lots of little other things that don't help me: I'm the odd one out with hair color, my mother and both sisters all have the same middle name (not me), I have a different blood type than my sisters.

FI has 1 older sister.

This is my situation 100%. DH is the middle child and he doesn't fit his personality at all.  him and his (older) sister are super similar. the only part that fit him well is that he is extremely good at reading people
