Does our blood type determine our personality?
I read and article a while ago which basically gave the personality traits based on the blood group of the person. The Japanese use blood groups in the same way we use horoscopes and star signs. There are basically 4 basic blood groups, Type A, B, O and AB. So what does your blood type say about you?
Type A
The second most common blood type in the UK - 42 per cent of the country fall into this category.
They are considered to be: Harmonious; Unconfident; Considerate; Sensitive; Calm; Traditional; Reliable and Worrier.
Type B
The second rarest of the blood types - only 9 per cent of the UK fall into this group.
They are considered to be: Easy-going; Passionate; Disorganised; Independent; Lethargic and Untidy.
Type O
The most common group in the UK - 46 per cent. It’s also considered to be the best blood type in Japan.
They are considered to be: Confident; Hyperactive; Hot-blooded and Self-destructive.
Type AB
You’re a rarity - The AB blood type constitutes between 2 and 5 per cent of the UK population.
They are considered to be: Beguiling; Outgoing; Rational; Distant; Enigmatic and Changeable.
How could the two be linked?
In the 1930’s a Japanese psychologist Furukawa Takeji suggested that there was a link between personality and blood type. Takeji looked into the psychological differences between the blood groups. He conducted a survey and deduced from his answers that there are differences between the blood groups.
The theory is that our blood groups show who our ancestors are, and we’ve inherited their behavioural traits.
Although all this evidence appears to be real, I am still not too convinced. I still therefore ask is it possible to determine a persons personality knowing their blood group? Does this mean everyone who is type AB have the same characteristics? Probably not like not all Capricorns or Leos are the same.
