Rayid Birth Order Patterns (Sibling Sequence)

Each person is born with distinct characteristics, special gifts, and talents that distinguishes them from every other person in their family tree and in society.  When these are identified, acknowledged and nurtured in childhood, it promotes strength and success in the child.  From this platform, a child is better equipped to master the challenges of life and to experience relationships in a healthier way.

The unique qualities defined by gender and birth order are manifested in body type, personality, and creative expression. Rayid® Birth Order allows a deeper understanding of the essential goodness in each person and the subtle nuances of their personality.  This greater level of understanding allows parents, guardians, teachers, and others to more specifically respond to, guide, nurture and support children towards their own personal fulfillment.

(Keep in mind that “personality” is your vehicle of expression and interaction in the material world.  With better understanding of personality, you gain important insight into different styles and patterns of communication, relating, learning, and expression.)

In the Rayid Model®, there are 12 distinct birth order positions: six boys and six girls.  Upon these cornerstones, endless variations of unique individuality are created.

The qualities of all 12 birth order positions are present within each of us.   However, they are combined and expressed in original ways.  The most dominate personality and behavioral characteristics present in someone, are those which correspond with their birth order position.  In the Rayid Model, birth order position is determinined by combining your genetic number, your gender number, and your social number.  (See below for an explanation of these.)

Birth order positions and their corresponding behavioral patterns are universal, meaning they transcend cultural influences and social status.  In addition, each birth position shares energetic similarity with certain wonders in Nature.

Rayid Birth Order opens new doors of understanding, deepens your reverence for the special-ness of each child, and enlivens your joy for the divinely inspired universe in which live.

Use and combine the brief descriptions found below, as an introduction to Rayid Birth Order.  While certain things will act as modifiers (i.e. iris structure, blended families, the loss of a sibling, etc.), the descriptions provide an overview.

In the Rayid Model, there are 3 parts that make up your birth order position: Genetic Number, Gender Number, & Social Number.

• Step 1: Start with your Genetic Number.  To determine this, identify the gender of your father’s firstborn child.  If his first child was a boy and you were born next, the Genetic Number of your birth order position is a #2 boy (regardless of your gender).  This means you will have characteristics of a number 2 boy.  If you are the firstborn son, your genetic # is “1 boy”.  If you were born 4th after a first born son, your genetic # is “4boy”, and so on.  Again, this holds regardless of your gender.

• Step 2: Identify your Gender Number.  If you are a female, identify which daughter/girl you are in your family: the first (#1 girl), second (#2 girl), fifth (#5 girl), etc.  The process is the same if you are a male, in determining which son/boy you are in the sibling sequence of your family.  Whatever your gender number is, you will have a dominance of these characteristics as well in your personality.

• Step 3: Identify your Social Number (if applicable).  This applies to the social situation in which you grew up.  For example, if your father had children with more than one woman, you may or may not have grown up with all of your siblings and step-siblings in the same house.  As another example, perhaps you grew up in a “blended family” — meaning with step-siblings from a step-parent.  Whatever your situation was, identify your social birth position.  Do this by determining which birth position you occupied (from oldest to youngest) in the house you grew up in.  Again, start with the gender of the oldest child you lived with.
• If the oldest child was a boy and you were younger, determine if you were 2nd, 3rd, etc.
• If you were 3rd, for example, you will have characteristics of a #3 boy (regardless of your gender).
• If the oldest child was a girl and you were younger, determine if you were 2nd, 3rd, etc.
• If you were 2nd, for example, you will have characteristics of a #2 girl (regardless of your gender).

Genetic, gender, and social factors compose your dominant personality and behavioral characteristics.  Interestingly, the most dominant factor of all is your social birth number, meaning the social situation in which you grew up.

To determine your birth order position, add together your results from the above 3 steps.  Let’s say, for example, you are a genetic #3 boy, a gender #2 girl, and a social #4 girl.  The qualities and characteristics that correspond with these three birth order positions will be strongest in your personality and behavior.

Your birth order position would be: “3 boy, 2 girl, 4 girl”.  Look below to see what this means.

Enjoy the experience of determining your birth order position!

Keep in mind that there are personality modifiers like your iris structure, the iris structure and birth order position of your parents, etc.  However, this information provides a sound initial experience for determining your birth order position and the corresponding personality traits and characteristics.
