someone asked for the birth order of first borns... once again these are only typical traits. probably not all would apply..
-leadership ability
:take charge, know what to do. but maybe come off as aggressive
-aggressive
:command respect. but maybe too focused on goal and not enough on others' feelings
-compliant
:cooperative. but maybe taken advantage of
-perfectionistic
:always do things right, but tend to criticize themselves/others too much. or procrastinate bcos they fear they cannot do a 'good enough job'
-organized
:have everything under control; but may worry too much about order and not be flexible, and be upset by surprises
-driver
:ambitious, put themselves and those they work with under too much stress and pressure
-list maker
:set goals and reach them, plans day; but may be too busy to see the big picture
-logical
:straight thinkers, but may believe they are always right and fail to pay attention of the more intuitive opinions of others
-scholarly
:tend to be voracious readers and accumulators of information and facts; good problem solvers. but may spend too much time gather facts and may be so serious they fail to see humor in situations when humor is desperately needed
copied that whole lot from the book, but i didn't read the whole chapter so i don't know certain implications/limitations of it. although i did read something like messy tables can also be characteristic of perfectionists too cos they still know where everything is and they just think that if their table is to be neat it needs to be PERFECTLY neat and so they just don't bother cleaning up. hmmmmms.
