The fact that I am the oldest child makes me a fixer?

When I was in college I read a book about firstborns. It talked about some of the personality traits we all have in common.

I'm hazy on the details now, but I seem to recall that firstborns are accustomed to looking after or helping their younger siblings growing up.
