Yay for Rouge and me! Only children! I'm the nerdy academic sort, with very little artístic flair. I like sports too, and I have to be active and doing something or i go insane.
But has anyone actually considered that maybe its not being a younger child that makes you do juggling/poi, but that if you do juggling/poi, you become a younger child?
No, wait, scrap that, it makes no sense.

I'm the oldest and more outgoing than my sister. We are pretty similar though - she's just a little shyer and a lot more sensible than me!! Funny because my parents were stricter with me than with her...

Nope, doesn't work for my family.
My eldest sister (12 years older) is the one who could care less about anything. She is really crafty and creative with her hands but too outspoken and outgoing to actually focus on anything.
My other sister (the middle one, at 10 years older) is beyond conservative to the point that she can't think outside the box, let alone step outside it.
And then there is me...outgoing and focussed. Perhaps the best of both worlds?
It doesn't work for Whipping Boy either. He is the eldest by 3 years and his brother is **very** shy and conservative while he is sometimes too outspoken.
Two strikes here as well.

Parents often seem to have a 'thats nice dear' attitude towards the older kids cos they think they're old enough to look after themselfs and the younger ones need more care and attention resulting in the youngest being most spoilt and dependant on parents and the eldest being most indepenfant and free thinking,

I'm the middle child...
I think we're all quite creative, my younger brother is more like my dad than I like to admit and my sister and I are quite like our mum, though I wouldn't admit to that either, as much as I love her.
I don't think the theory works for creativity, we're all pretty creative.. Plus, how do you scale creativeness?
I think we're even, we just express our creativity (if you can call it that) in different ways like everyone.... hmm....

I think that happens for every theory, there will always be oddballs.
I think maybe the only theory that works to a big degree would be something along the lines of everyone's unique and so allocating a theory to a population is stupid.
Maybe??

hmm, really I think these theories are to general to be put to use but they provoke thought and can bring about interesting discussions
