1st borns have a higher IQ

That pattern seems to reverse over time, perhaps because older children get an intelligence boost from being their younger siblings' informal tutors in the ways of the world, Sulloway notes.

Well, my little brother has his masters in biology so I don't think I have a leg to stand on. I'm still going to let him know I'm smarter though.

d'oh I was the last one born in a family with three girls. One's an engineer, ones a highly respected researcher, ones an imigration lawyer.
Guess I won't be needing this high school diploma anymore.

Shinguard I say. And as evidence this theory is seriously flawed, I submit my older brother. The guy could screw up falling off a log.
