Love is the battery of life....

Hi,

Here are some:
1. The middle one (has older & younger brothers) has 3
     folds chances to own a private business (compared to
     their % of the entire population [they are only 18%]).
2. The younger brothers tend, 7.3 times more than the
     oldest brother, to innovations and to risk taking as well.
3. The eldest suits better to managerial jobs.
4.   The Younger brothers will be better as entrepreneurs.
5. The youngest will be best at inter-personal communication
     (so they'll tend to work in servise).
5. The eldest is the "Alpha male" of the Primates, and
     behaves in that way.
6. The eldest are much more conservative.
7. Younger brothers will be better to maneuver and find
     their way. They'll navigate better and find quicker the
    way out if a complicated situation.
8. The chances to be the eldest (in he USA) are: 49.2%
     to be the youngest = 38.2%, and a middle = 18.0%.
That's what I found in the summary, there is a whole lot more in the book itself.
Best regards,
