Hereditary, environment, situational are all that affects our personality but what else affects it is the order of our birth! Yes, you have read it right. Birth order plays an important role in contributing to your personality. Although this is not the only determining factor but yes does has a role to play. 

This theory developed by Adler focuses on how our birth order can influence our personality. We are divided into First born, Middle child, Second born, Last born and the only child. The order in which we are born influence our style of living and how we relate to other people and the environment in general. This influence keeps changing with the change in our external factors like number of children, spacing between them and also the the changing conditions of the parents over time.
