Ever wondered if your personality was decided at birth?
有没有想过，你的个性其实在出生时就已经决定了？
It turns out, the order in which you were born can not only have an effect on your personality, but also your chances of academic success.

事实证明，出生顺序不仅会影响你的个性，还会影响你取得学术成就的机会。

According to Canadian duo Mitchell Moffit and Greg Brown, fromToronto, who present an online science show, several theories suggest that where you are in your family determines who you are.

来自加拿大多伦多的米切尔·墨菲特和格雷格·布朗近日在一个在线科学秀中指出，有几项理论表明，家庭中的排行决定了你是怎样的人。

FIRST-BORNS
老大
According to Mitchell and Brown, first-born children are expected to be higher academic achievers and more ambitious.
米切尔和布朗认为，家中排行老大的孩子通常会在学术上取得更高的成就，并且更具有野心。
They also have a stronger sense of responsibility and are generally more mature.
他们也会有更强的责任感，并且通常来说会更加成熟。

They also tend to have better leadership skills than other birth orders.

相比其他孩子来说，老大往往有更好的领导能力。
The explanation is because although they get a lot more affection and attention from their parents, their parents have higher expectations as the first child.
究其原因，是他们从父母那里得到了更多的爱和关注，而父母对第一个孩子往往会有更高的期望。
This works as a self-fulfilling prophecy: if there are high expectations placed on you, you are more likely to want to work hard and live up to these expectations.
这是一个自我实现的预言：如果你背负着很高的期望，就会更想努力工作，不辜负这些期望。
