‘Middle seat’ children do well in life!

Sitting in the middle seat has long been considered as pulling the short straw; siblings and family members pin you in on both sides, you’re robbed of a window seat and there’s limited leg room.
However, new research shows that being a middle seat child may well set you up for success in later life, particularly in business.
The study of over 1,000 Brits with two or more siblings shows that 90 percent of people in ‘director’ level positions sat in the middle, while nearly three quarters (72 percent) of business owners and over three fifths (62 percent) of senior managers also found themselves between brothers and sisters when on the road.
These developments may well be to do with the personality traits that middle seat kids develop. Almost half of them are now described as easy going, while reasonable (28 percent), patient (25 percent), level headed (21 percent) and adaptable (21 percent) also score highly.
Four fifths (80 percent) of middle seat kids attribute their work-life success to their childhood car position.
