Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: In many areas, from college attendance to high-level management, first-borns are over represented relative to their proportion of the population. More first-borns than later-borns become eminent, and they tend to attain greater intellectual achievement in academic settings and greater power and prestige in their careers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: According to Adler, first-borns are concerned with power and authority. One way for them to gain power and authority as adults is through achievement in their work. First-borns also tend to be more suggestible and dependent on other people. They are anxious in stressful situations and have a higher need for social relationships (Schachter, 1963, 1964). These findings can be predicted from Adler's theory.
