According to Business Insider, some psychologists believe whether you're a first born, last born, or middle child could impact who your perfect match will be.
Psychologist Kevin Leman explains in his book, 'The New Birth Order Book: Why You Are the Way You Are', that your birth order could impact the health of your relationship as an adult.
Using Leman's book and other online resources, Business Insider could identify the best and worst mates based on people's birth order.
They made it clear, however, that this is a general guide that should not be seen as a one-size-fits-all.
Here is your best match based on your birth order:
First born:
Best match: Last born
Worst match: Another first born
Middle child:
Best match: Last born
Worst match: Another first born
Last born:
Best match: First born
Worst match: Another last born
