The Superstition of Blood Types

Written by Sasha





Though there’re lots of people around the world believe that the blood type influences one’s personality, the phenomenon is much more prevailed in Japanese society nowadays, and surprisingly that most of western countries don't have this concepts at all. Most of Japanese, especially young generation, trust that the blood type affects not only characteristics but also ability of work, interrelationship, strategy-making, and almost everything.

In their opinion, each type has these specialties separately.

A: Obeying rules without suspect and hesitation; always staying in all seriousness; being easily to endure unreasonable things; being temperate and sympathetic.

B: Liberalist; being curious and sensitive especially to the field of art; speaking and doing things directly and sometimes even impulsively; being optimistic and careless; being easy to indulge in his/her own world.

O: Super-optimist; being careless and having no desires of worldly success ordinarily, however, once they find out their goal, they become aggressive and concentrated; being brave and filled of energy.

AB: Changeable; optimist; having lots of interesting even unreasonable thoughts; carelessness; judging a thing in a unique but fair way.

In a report opinion poll held in Japan recently shows that at least 20% of Japanese believe unreservedly that blood type influence their personality and even life. The situation becomes more and more serious and exaggerated. Some newspapers and magazines all indicate how this superstition deprives the basic human rights because there are even companies choose their employees according to the blood type.

If we take the characteristics which said to origin from bloody type as the consequence of statistics and don’t over-believe in it, we will find lots of interesting coincidences and funs. It’s just like the astrology, though some of the specialties match our personalities, we should not be confined by it for there are not only twelve kinds of set of one’s identities in the world.
