Your place in your family can have a lot of bearing on your personality and even how you view the world and interact with the people in it. Being an only child can also impact both of these things, even more so than birth order. Being the oldest is a lot like being the "experimental child" whereas by the last child most parents are more lenient and let them do things that the older children could only dream of. If you are stuck in the middle than you might feel like you never got enough attention as a kid and as a result you have become independent and introverted. Now if you are an only child you may have felt lonely during your childhood and as a result constantly surround yourself with large groups of people in order to fill a void.
So are you an only child, middle, oldest or youngest? We compiled this quiz to take a guess on one of the biggest things that make up your identity. We included personality questions, situational questions, and any thing else that we thought we might need to make an informed and accurate guess as to what your place in your family is.
What did you do for fun when you were a kid?

How strict were your parents growing up?

Everyone is different, point blank. Everyone rates things on their own level of importance and no ones scale of importance will ever be alike.
