Younger Brother of Brother(s)

Y-BOB

Younger or Youngest Brothers of Brothers are somewhat impulsive souls who are more inclined to seek a thrilling adventure than other types. Y-BOB's are more likely to try skydiving, own a motorcycle, backpack Europe or join the military than their more conservative bigger brother(s).

Their heightened creativity and relaxed demeanor set Y-BOB's apart from the pack. Most women love these men. And why not? They're outgoing, charming, entertaining and generally agreeable. However he tends not to be very romantic, and doesn't coddle his mate with emotional outpourings of affection - preferring to be lighthearted and focused on excitement, rather than gushing.

Most Y-BOB's display the (P)erceiving Jungian Temperament. They typically are not the detail oriented task-masters that their Biggest Brother is; unless he is a *Challenging Second Born.

*A "Challenging Second Born" is one who challenges an older sibling on the older sibling's own turf…

Statistically, the majority of same-sex Second Born's tend to carve out life in different directions than their older brother or sister.

Second Born's want their own glories in life and they know that the prospect of achieving unique accomplishments is not clearly probable unless different life paths are taken. If the First Born is a doctor, the Second (or Last) child may go for being a professional athlete. If the FB is shy, the typical Second Born is very outgoing, earning many friendships. Where one zigs, the other zags.

"Challenging Second Born's", however, may try to dethrone a First Born by out-doing or out-scoring the FB in his own achievements. This typically and logically only happens when there is a close age difference (1-2 years) between the FB and Challenger. The Challenger has to have the attitude that there is a shot at winning the game (of who's better). Some Second Born's become obsessed with outshining and outdoing their older sibling. The closer the age gap between the two, the more likely this is to happen.

Some Challenging Second Born's tend to be more organized, focused and determined to be "the best" than many typical First Born's. They have to be if they're to beat someone who's had a head start in their choice of pursuits.

The affect of "failure" on the First Born: If the Challenger is persistent, and begins to continually beat his older sibling, on his own turf, the First Born is forced to make a conscious choice to keep fighting for the top spot on the totem pole, or relinquish his or her authority (and bragging rights as top-dog) to the Challenger.

Loosing in any competition is especially embarrassing for First Born's. By nature, they're hardworking perfectionists. By virtue of being bigger, smarter and more experienced than their younger siblings, they feel it is their birthright to hold the power and prestige of being "best" amongst siblings in whatever they do.

If the First Born does "loose" the title of being "best" in the things that he or she held great pride, the First Born may begin to take on the many of the Last Child's archetypal traits; finding an open spot in the Family Dynamic to be the funny one, the creative and relaxed one or the one who cracks jokes and exudes sarcasm.
