Birth Order
Beatriz and Fernando were born in the same family, have the same parents, have gone to the same school, but are very different. Beatriz is introverted and responsible, Fernando is rebellious, communicative and sociable. Sometimes surprised to see the extraordinary gap between the characters of two brothers. And is that you never ask why you have your children educated in the same wayso different?
Everyone has their personality. The mode of being of each is forged from the moment of birth. There are many factors that influence identity formation, and one of them is the moment we arrived to life. Obviously the first-born status is not the only factor in the uniqueness of each.
There are other conditions, genetic, educational, social, etc. However, according to severalstudies proclaim the birth order in the formation of the personality of each individual and therefore somehow determines the path that will take in life.

There have been many theories that have tried to explain the differences in temperament of a person by their location in the family the rest of his brothers. Not long ago we knew the results of a study by a group of scientists from the University ofOslo, which concluded that the IQ of children born in the first place was somewhat higher than the younger brother.

Earlier and more often solitary individual or the rest of the family because at birth the second desentronización experience a kind of making them by themselves accomplishmany areas previously dealt with the support of parents.

The second son, or medium in order, tends to be more diplomatic and happy, because unlike the former already has a certain "open road" that has left the older parents and have the experience and not overprotective So for what its degree of sociability and competitiveness will be higher than in the first case, establishing a kind of astruggle to try to outdo each other and the first for trying to defend what they consider theirs.
