Birth Order Traits

BOR Research and Evidence T-Chart 

Research Aspect	Accuracy or Inaccuracy
Close-minded	I do not think I'm close-minded. I'm pretty open minded to other's ideas. I like using others' ideas and combining them all together. I enjoy observing and learning others' ways of thinking. When I do decide to present my ideas or views, I always expect someone to not agree with me. And that's alright, I try to see it from their side and even if I still don't agree completely, I will admit they have a point or an interesting point of view.
Mental Discipline, Stubborn, Strong powers of Concentration.	Yes. I don't like admitting my strong points, but this is one I am proud of. I have very strong mental discipline. Especially during sports, mind over matter is my motto. No matter how tired, lazy, depressed, etc. I am, I will finish whatever it is I have to do. I do some of my best work when I'm under pressure, because I concentrate to a point where I come up with more ideas than I need, and I end up doing more than necessary. I can survive with a couple hours of sleep throughout the school day and 2 and a half hours of running for cross country, just because I have disciplined myself to concentrate and get it done.
Strong-willed and Aggressive	I am very competitive. That is something important, because I will most likely get aggressive over tag. I am very, very determined. If I decide on doing something or that I want something, I will get do it or get it. You will most likely not win an argument with me over something I strongly believe I'm right in. My determination is one of my favorite traits, and what has gotten me through a lot in life. I've been through some pretty rough experiences in my life, and if it hadn't been for my strong-will, I probably wouldn't be here writing this right now.
Tolerant and Patient	I need to patient, or else I'd go crazy. My family is one big headache. You can't even talk to my brother now without him telling you to shut up or get out. My parents mean well, but they interrogate me on the 2 minute gap between the time my practice should have been over and the time I called them. Not just that, but an A- is considered a failing grade to them. And yet they complain how I stay up late doing homework. My brother will enter my room at 3am, turn on all the lights, pull my blankets off, and leave the door open just because he couldn't sleep, and I "am not worthy of sleep if he can't sleep". But I just breathe and usually I don't hurt anyone. Usually. I tolerate everyone, even if I detest you with a passion. If I don't like you, you most likely won't ever find out.
Skeptical	You have to be skeptical in order to survive. There's a degree of trust between siblings that remains from the younger years. However, you never know when they will turn their back on you and snitch. When they do something randomly nice, they usually want or need something from you. Or they spit in it.
Perfectionistic	This bothers me so much, but I am a perfectionist. I can not sleep if I feel like my homework wasn't perfect. Everything I do has to be just right, and my OCD doesn't exactly help. If there is even a TINY flaw, I will redo the entire task. I feel like this may have developed from my parents who would make me rewrite my kindergarten homework if the numbers or letters weren't perfect. Those expectations from my parents eventually made me want everything perfect myself.
