Paul was born first. As a child, he preferred to spend time on his own or with a good friend, but he was not comfortable in larger groups. He was academically gifted, responsible, and quiet. His brother James was the youngest of four children. Unlike Paul, he did not care as much about school. He was very popular and a leader in his peer group, which was far more important to him than school while he was growing up. In school, he often got into trouble. Today, James sells advertising for a large media company and is politically conservative. He plays golf and does volunteer work at his church. Paul is a well-known research scientist at a university. he is politically liberal and his hobbies include crossword puzzles and long-distance running. All of these things clearly demonstrate the contrast in their personalities.
