The Double Birth Order Of Glenn Beck
Early Years Glenn was born February 10, 1964 in Everett, Washington, his sister Michelle is two years older. At age 13 his parents divorced and Glenn and Michelle moved from Mt. Vernon to Summer, Washington. Two years later in 1979 his mother died in a mysterious drowning incident in Puget Sound. No one is sure if it was an accident or a suicide. After the death of his mother, both he and his sister Michelle moved back with his father, stepmother and step siblings, as his father had remarried. Glenn was 15 at the time. One of his step siblings committed suicide and another died of a heart attack. I do not know if they were older or younger than Glenn and Michelle. The siblings in this new step family would have little affect on Glenn since he was already 15years old. My quest for all of his siblings may have ended here but for a story Glenn told about his childhood. Glenn tells the story about the day his older sister played hooky. He said, “My other sister and I were a little surprised when my dad picked us up and we went looking for our older sister…” Now we know there were two girls and a boy in the original Beck family. Search for his oldest Sister I knew from watching his show that he demonstrated multiple characteristics not clearly any one birth order so the search for the oldest sister was the answer. I reasoned that after the divorce she did not go to Summer, Washington with Glenn and Michelle. That year, 1977, may have been her last year in high school or she may have already graduated. My first search was at the Tacoma Public Library for a copy of his mother’s obituary. There it listed her children, Michelle, Glenn, and Coletta of Mt. Vernon, Washington. My suspicion that she had stayed in Mt. Vernon was right. Following a number of calls to Mt. Vernon High and the local library I found her picture in the 1976 yearbook. This makes her date of birth to be 1958 making her 4 years older than Michelle and 6 years older than Glenn. Birth Order Designations The Beck family demonstrates what is known as a “family within a family”. Four school years separate the oldest sibling from the next group of two giving everyone a Double Birth Order. Coletta One/Only Double Birth Order (The 4yrs gave her more time alone with her parents like an Only child.) 4yr Gap Michelle Two/One Double Birth Order (The oldest in the second family) Glenn Three/Two Double Birth Order (Third born but second in the second family and the only boy) Birth Order Characteristics of the Second Born The second child likes to control his own space and does not want to be told what to do.They usually have a more outgoing personality than their older sibling. If the older sibling is doing well in school then they will concentrate on athletics or anything different from their older brother or sister. They can be very competitive and don’t give up easily. Making a lot of money allows them not to be told what to do. In 2009 Beck made 21 million dollars true to his second born characteristic. Some twos may be called rebels if you think personal responsibity, low debt and limited government are rebel ideas, then he fits. Birth Order Characteristics of the Third Born. The third born sees life very differently than the second born. He is not very competitive but sees life in more humanitarian terms. He loves helping others and sees the bigger picture. They are artistic, spiritual, creative and very sensitive.They love working with groups of people as they understand everyone easily. Sensitivity to those around them gives them lots of friends and an air of being very happy. The truth is they are laughing on the outside but crying on the inside.They do not like to expose their inner feelings. They are open to the world around them and that includes drugs, alcohol and religion. Religion is now central in Glenn’s life. He converted to Mormonism which he accounts for his cure and is now a recovering alcoholic, drug addict and substance abuser. As the first born boy with two older sisters Glenn is in a unique position to act at times like a Firstborn. Acting like a Firstborn may make him look stronger than he really is and since it is an act, he may overdo it. . Work Glenn is a blending of these two birth orders and we can see that in his work history. His first job was at age 13 when he won a contest to be on his hometown radio station KRBC. In high school Glenn began working regularly on a part-time basis for a radio station in Seattle. He would do the midnight show on Friday night and would have to take the bus to Seattle.. He often would sleep at the station during the weekend shows. As a second born the money would be important as a way toward independence. The radio gave him a stage from which to perform, a third born characteristic. He had numerous radio jobs over the years and the only pattern was one of going from job to job after being let go. Maybe he didn’t like management telling him what to do? A second born trait. Political Views Beck considers himself a libertarian; he says every day he is fighting for individual rights, a trait consistent with a second born. Second borns don’t want anyone telling them what to do. As the third born he has an almost religious zeal for getting everyone educated in the matter of fiscal responsibility. He wants everyone to be able to control their own life by living within their means, another number two trait. Blended Birth Orders This blending of birth orders makes for a very interesting person. Time Magazine thought so in 2009 and named him The Most Interesting Personality. Understanding this blending of the second and third born traits will give you a better picture of the “Real” Glenn Beck. His third born characteristics gave him a different and open view of the world. It cost him his first marriage and almost cost him his life with alcohol and drug additions. His second born trait of wanting to control his own world gave him the strength to kick his habits. His third born side helped as he sought out religion as a solution. This combination of the two/three double birth order, shows a strong independent person who is dedicated and cares deeply about others. Posted by Dr. Robert V.V. Hurst at 10:38 PM Glenn Beck is an author, editor, inspirational speaker, and talk show host on the Fox network. He has been described as right-wing conservative and a major supporter of the Tea-Party movement. This man seems to have it all so it was time to find his birth order so we can see the characteristics that made for his success. The research for the information on his siblings was not an easy one. I knew he had an older sister but who knew he had another much older sister? Early Years Glenn was born February 10, 1964 in Everett, Washington, his sister Michelle is two years older.

Article Directory: http://www.articledashboard.com Dr. Robert V.V. Hurst was edcuated at both Indiana University and Harvard. He has been practicing orthodontics in Covington Louisiana for over 35 years and used his office and patients as his living laboratory to study his patient’s personality traits and birth orders. Out of this has come a unique and workable theory that accurately finds a persons real birth order and explains their behaviors.
