EDIT: Let's cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We're not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don't believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I'm sure almost everybody has something to add.

Pretty sure there is study that corroborates the claim. Being a middle child, the idea of us being black sheep seems to be true. Though the black sheep stereotype complements my personality anyway, as I have always been a maverick.

Which is why it's scientific and I still don't believe in it.

One of my fields of study is adjacent to psychology, and I've rubbed elbows with some of the people who have publishedsome of those studies.

My conversation with the lady had her analyzing my every mannerism as if it all stemmed back from my childhood.

Nonsense and tea leaves!

Oh yeah, I know that not all of human behaviour is directly caused by something. Even if there is broad explanation, we are all still humans that still deviate from programming.
