Birth Place: The Birth Order-Personality Connection
The Baby
If you can't be the best, you can always be funny! And from that, the youngest child's personality is born. With size and smarts against them early in life, youngest children quickly learn low-power techniques like humor to carve a niche for themselves.
They're loved for being charming, affectionate, adventurous, and agreeable, but their tendency to be irresponsible, absentminded, impatient, and moody is less endearing.
Sacha Baron Cohen might want to thank his two older brothers for his over-the-top, risk-taking approach to comedy (he does interview a terrorist in Brüno).

I am a first born, and I am successful, determined, ambitious, center of attention, and I am definitely smart. My younger brother is an absolute spoiled brat, not as social, but he has some of the good personality traits, such as being affectionate and agreeable. He has all of the bad traits.
My dad is the first born and exactly like me, and my mom is the middle child, and fits that description to a T.
I noticed that with my mom she never wanted to be anyone else. My brother was always trying to compete with me. He never won...except at home, where he got the most love and attention simply for being the baby.
This has always interested me.
1I don't fit that description at all.
