It’s a subject that rears its head every now and again, with research confirming that the order siblings are born in impacts upon their direction in later life.<\/p>\n
This time Disney is poking in with their two-penneth of research saying that first born children are more likely to ‘reach for the stars’.<\/p>\n
Statisticians analysed a random sample of more than 500 successful people from across 11 different career groups.<\/p>\n
They looked at what order they were born in compared to any siblings and what effects this had on their future carer choice.<\/p>\n
It found that firstborn children tended to gravitate towards science and engineering, with a disproportionate number of astronauts being eldest siblings.<\/p>\n
Middle-born children learn early compete for attention, with 30 per cent of them becoming a CEO such as
\nMark Zuckerberg or Lord Alan Sugar.<\/p>\n
But it’s not just the business world benefiting from middle-born children. Olympic athletes have a much higher rate of coming from the pool of middle-born children than other sibling positions.<\/p>\n
Being the youngest child means a higher likelihood – 50 per cent – of going on to become a classical musician.<\/p>\n
Psychologist Emma Kenny who took part in the research says: \u201cThe research conducted over the last month has shown that birth order is a significant factor in determining employment role types between siblings – overall there are far more typical cases than exceptions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Disney commissioned the research to celebrate sibling bonds in their hit film Frozen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
