Robert Gates former Secretary of
Defense: His Double Birth Order
Making the rounds of all
the talk shows this week has been
Robert Michael Gates promoting his autobiography Duty
where he gives us an insight into the Obama administration.
He has had a history of government service,serving as the
15th Director of the CIA and in various positions under
eight US Presidents from Nixon to Obama. With all these
years in public service 1967-2011 you would think it would
be easy to find out the information to determine his birth
order, well it wasn’t. I guess the CIA is a master at
protecting their employees and their families, but not from
this birth order detective.

Education
We know he went to Wichita
East High and graduated in 1961.
He was a straight A student and achieved the rank of Eagle
Scout. He sang in the boy’s choir and at one time put together
a collection of animal brains, maybe an early sign he would
work for the CIA. College was William and Mary in Virginia
graduating in 1965. Next it was Indiana University where he

earned a master’s degree

future wife Becky who he married in 1966. He received a
doctorate in Russian and Soviet history from Georgetown
University in 1974.

The Only/Two Birth Order
Robert Gates was born
September 25th 1943 in Wichita
Kansas. When he was born he had an older brother Jim at
least 6 years older who became a school principal. This
makes Robert Gates an Only/Two double birth order. He
would show Only characteristics 60% of the time those
of a Two 40% . This Only/Two would be the person that
would be asked to take charge of things but could also keep
secrets. The Only side of his birth order would allow him
to work with One’s and Only’s. In the White House our
President Obama is a One/Only double birth order, Joe
Biden a One birth order. Valerie Jarrett a close adviser to
the President is an Only birth order. At times the Two side
of his personality would resent anyone telling him what to
do but he would keep it to himself. The number Two sees
things in clear terms of right and wrong, good and bad and

when what he perceives an
injustice taking place will no
longer keep his silence. This may have been the reason he
left his position and wrote his book. He was shocked when
given an "order" by Obama and Biden about Afghanistan. It
showed him they didn't understand the military and it was
"unnecessary and insulting". Never underestimate this birth
order from trying to make things right.

A Two/Only Speaks his mind
Now that he is no longer
in the government he felt no restriction
to say what has been on his mind. Nicknamed Yoda by the
Obama administration probably because of his silence when
he became angry. As he has said in a recent interview “When
I get angry I get quieter” Accusing the President of an
uncommitted policy In Afghanistan, he had to sit in meetings
where the staff made negative comments about the prior
administration of which he was a part. This shows the strength
of the Only/Two. Don’t rule him out as a possible Vice-
Presidential pick in the next Presidential election. This birth
order is content with a support role and doesn’t crave the
attention and center stage of a number One.
