Twins
Twins can be any one of the three 'main' birth order types, therefore it is nearly impossible to describe them. However,
what can be detected is which of the two children is the leader.

Advantages V.S. Disadvantages
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
Have a constant companion, someone who understands you, have a connection with someone, confident, multi-taskers, driven,
want to stand out.
|
Identity crisis, may not feel unique, hid behind twin's shadow or shadowed over twin, not a lot of privacy, feel invaded.
|
|
Twice the connections, twice the references, someone to bounce ideas off of, two minds instead of one, often choose careers
different than their twin, want to be an individual, feel they need to stand out therefore they go above and beyond.
|
May be lost without twin, may not take well to being alone, if the leader of the two, he/she may try to overshadow others
as he/she did with their twin, if the follower of the two, he/she may look for another person to be their "mother hen".
