Are You The First Born? You're Probably More Intelligent than Your Siblings

Consider yourself fortunate if you are the eldest one among your sibs! Until now, things have been quite challenging as it is quite hard to play the role of a responsible, mature adult, but brace yourself as you are about to get an upper hand!

A thought-provoking analysis spawned by a team of scientists advocates that the eldest child in the family is supposedly more intellectual and brainier in everyday situations as compared to the rest.

Undeniably, the youngest of all is tend to be more pampered and has apparently a higher degree of e freedom in their selections, but alas, it is the first born who are prone to achieve a 100% scholarship in an intellectual establishment as they are more likely to get the A"s.

Initiated by the Leipzig University, researchers analyzed the results of three national studies, including one from the UK, linking more than 20,000 people in total.

The results were pretty shocking as the scholars witnessed a drop in the IQ as the research included more siblings in it. According to them, the trends tend to drop at the rate of 1.5 per sibling.

Amusing, yet spot-on, the German examiners are still trying their best to come up with a heftier response. But as for now, the eldest child does not only pass with flying colors, but is inclined towards achieving the highest score in the family. One of the rational comeback developed by the analysists suggest that the reason why they are bright is that they are prone to more love and affection from their parents, which is later on interfered as parents decide to add more siblings into the family.

The brain behind the study, Julia Rohrer claims that the child's IQ is directly linked with the way they are brought up. In a nutshell, future parents should take notes as it is their upbringing which directly creates a difference in their brain.

‘While the firstborn gets full parental attention, at least for some months or years, late-borns will have to share from the beginning.

Other rational derived from the study shows that the eldest siblings pass on their knowledge to their siblings, which ultimately gives an unintentional push to the eldest minds, granting them the catbird’s position in the family.
