Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that laterborn children tend to be more unconventional and willing to challenge the status quo, which may make them more likely to lead revolutions in science like Copernicus and Darwin did. Firstborns, on the other hand, tend to be more conformist and rule-abiding. Only children may also have similar tendencies as laterborns, but there is not enough research to make a definitive conclusion. Twins can have varying personality traits and birth order dynamics depending on whether they are identical or fraternal, so it is difficult to make a generalization about them.
