The Fourth Born is best equipped of the Birth Orders for an acting career. The Fourth Born learns from childhood to act out different personalities. As a child the Fourth Born is told that he or she is not big enough, old enough, fast enough, strong enough or smart enough to play with the older siblings. The Fourth Born tends to get a negative view of self as being unacceptable.
In order to overcome not being good enough the Fourth Born studies others to discover how to be someone else. The Fourth Born watches how others do things to emulate them. The Fourth Born gets absorbed in a dramatic TV show studying how to be a character in the show. The Fourth Born watches every facial expression, gesture and move, listens to every inflection, tone and variation in the voice to copy them. This extensive study on how to be someone else creates a talent for portraying lots of different personalities.
The Fourth Born often acts in daily life even if he or she does not become an actor. The Fourth Born can be whoever you want the Fourth Born to be. This can be positive as in entertaining people. It can also be negative as in winning a court battle over custody of children as many a spouse can attest. The Fourth Born can be so convincing that the spouse ends up looking bad even though the situation may be exactly the opposite. This acting talent makes the Fourth Born capable of being the ultimate con man or woman.
Pushed to the extreme where Fourth Born acting becomes compulsive can result in Multiple Personality Disorder or as it is known now, Dissociative Identity Disorder.
The acting skill of the Fourth Born can be so good that the best of us are taken in by it. They know much more about acting than the rest of us know about identifying acting.

Curious though -- do 4's have a tendency to become atheists at all, maybe in response to the 3's over-reliance on religion?
Psychovirus, feeling unworthy has exactly the opposite effect. Lacking personal worth, the Fourth Born or any other Birth Order personality may seek to find their worth in their relationship with God. The Fourth Born becomes atheistic to escape being trapped perhaps by their own misdeeds that they feel condemn them.
I suspect any Birth Order can become atheistic for different reasons. I'd like to hear from them.
Cliff's information has been extremely helpful to me in dealing with abuse because Fourths are hard to understand. I've read his books and recommend them, too. Only by understanding what is really happening can one hope to begin to heal. Thanks for listening!
Also, I may be an actor, but my best friends know exactly who I am. Those are the three people in the world I feel like accept me enough to be myself around them. A lack of judgement helps a Fourth Born open up more than anything else.

Hi, it's Nichole & Wai.. see ya in a few hours [SMILE]
I've been recently taking in films starring Christian Bale who I believe to be a 4th born. He is a master of accents and personalities I may say. Interesting...
