''The Birth Order Book: Why You Are the Way You Are'' is a 1982 non-fiction book by Dr. Kevin Leman on birth order and its potential influence on personality and development. An updated and revised version of the book was published in 1998 through Baker Publishing Group. Leman first began studying birth orders while a student at the University of Arizona and noticing that several elements of personality were associated with a person's birth order rank. ==Synopsis== In the book Leman details four types of personality based upon the individual's birth order: First Born, Only Child, Middle Child, and Last Born. Only Child types are considered to be a form of the First Born personality types, but "in triplicate". *First Born: First born children are described as leaders that are often perfectionists that desire approval from those in charge. Leman also states that first borns are "typically aggressive" but are also often people pleasers.〔 *Middle Child: Middle children are sometimes diverse in that they are "guaranteed to be opposite of their older sibling" and often have the feeling that they are ignored in favor of their older and younger siblings. They are also described as having personalities that lean towards being secretive and can often serve as peacemakers between their older and younger siblings.〔 *Last Born: Leman describes the last children as "social and outgoing" but also the "most financially irresponsible of all birth orders". He also comments that they have the potential to be manipulative as well as charming.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Birth Order Book」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
