Research Finds Firstborns Gain the Higher I.Q. – New York Times

I always new that I was the smartest in my family.

In a recent report that was published in the journal of Science, “Norwegian researchers now report that it isn’t a matter of being born first, but growing up the senior child, that seems to result in the higher IQ scores.”

It is an interesting thought that has gone on for a while since Sir Francis Galton observed that men in prominent positions were first-born.

Don’t worry, I have been rubbing it in to my younger siblings.
