I do not feel like I fit this description very well as I am a bit more reserved and prefer to keep to myself whenever I can. I do like to be in control and have the power of leadership over others because

Doctor Leman, a psychologist that has been studying birth order since 1967 has noted this throughout his years of research. Whether first born, middle child, or the youngest in a family, there are going to be certain personality traits that are commonly found in a person depending on the order of their birth. For an example, usually it can be quite difficult to find a comedian that is a first born child (Cowley 17) because usually the youngest is the more of the out going person and not as much of a conscientious and structured person.…

    Reading what that word meant in terms of being a leader for the first time, I was shocked. I say that because I didn’t expect myself to be judging because I thought that I was the type to just go with the flow, which is a trait of a perceiver. After reading into what it actually meant I understood that the personality trait fits me the best. For example, I cannot do any homework or even go to bed at night if my room isn’t cleaned. Being this way, I have to make a day-by-day schedule to make sure I get all of the important things I need to get done out of the way, because if not, things will not get finished on time.…
