Is your 1st born child more intelligent than the others?

[Heated]

According to this article the oldest child has the higher IQ and and the youngest child in the family the lowest.

Obviously I used agree being the elder child.

However, with my own children not so sure. DS1 seems more 'academic' (lol at 4 yrs) whilst DD aged 2 exhibits a scary criminal intelligence that's more calculated than anything ds can do.

..or is this just pseudo science?

dd1 is very bright and academic - but I think that's partly due to all the PFB energy poured into her - it's still going on a bit I guess.
Ds (the youngest) is only 4 so it's hard to say. Dd1 was certainly a lot more advanced at this age than he is, but then he is a boy... he does seem bright and is much more independent than dd1 was (I'd still be wiping her bum and dressing her if it was up to her I think )

Too early to tell here but
ds1: extremely bright but not really in an academic way. Fab reader and above average definitely but I envisage him to be non-academic later on
ds2: only 3 but is bright in a more creative/emotional way

I am the oldest of 3 and have to agree that the oldest is definitely the more intelligent

DS1 is bright
DD is exceptional
DS2 is doing fine (only 2 atm)

I am the eldest and are much brighter than the other 2 kids my father had with his cow wife.
