I don't fit "sociable and outgoing," either. Historically I've been shy and withdrawn. It's only since I've gotten older and have acquired the outlook of not caring what other people think that I've become relatively sociable.
I think that because of the stereotype from the '50s (nuclear family must have 2.3 children), birth order studies have focused on the 3-child family. I don't know much about larger families.
