Do you believe in this.

It is popularly believed in Japan that a person's ABO blood type is predictive of their personality, character, and compatibility with others, similar to the Western world's Astrology. This belief has carried over to certain extent in other parts of East Asia such as South Korea and Taiwan. This theory is completely dismissed by most scientists as superstition or pseudoscience; still, many people believe this theory.

Those with type A blood tend to be reserved, punctual, and law-abiding, while type Os tend to be more outgoing, passionate, and driven; it is for this reason they are often considered "warrior" spirits. Type Bs are said to be loners and self-sufficient, as "hunters," while ABs are said to be serious and solitary by nature.

Type A blood is the most common in Japan and Germany while type O is most prevalent in the United States and Western Europe. 60 percent of Japanese Prime Ministers have been type O. Type Bs are also said to make great cooks and restaurant guides featuring Type B chefs are popular products in Japan.

interesting.
>>60 percent of Japanese Prime Ministers have been type O.
I didn't know that. But the Emperopr and the Prince Imperial are both type A, and the Emperor Showa was type AB.

I assume that type O is the most prevalant in S.E Asia,such as Indians, Thais, Malasians, Vietnamese, Cantonese and Taiwanese. I think Type O is the most dominant in Taiwan.

On the other hand, in N.E.Asia, Pekins,Mongolians, Koreans, type B is the most dominant. I read somewhere type B is the majority in Mongolia.

Compared with SE Asia and NE Asia, Japan is the country type A dominates.

Japan has far too many B and ABs. But again, this is good for the IT industries like Finland I would say. :)

Well the number of As and Os is almost the same in the US and Germany.



Its an interesting topic nevertheless.
My girlfriend is japanese and we had a few discussions about it.
Shes O and Im B.
She believes that people with O have advantages over people who are bloodtype B.
Im not really sure about the whole thing though.
Many people in Russia or India are bloodtype B.
Or by far most people in Africa are bloodtype O.
Does that mean that all of these people are the same?

This caught my attention though:

Peru (Indians) 100 0 0 0

I do somewhat believe this, i know this is not experimental science but the description fits me and many people i know very well.

Conservative, introverted, reserved, patient and punctual. Perfectionists.
Worst Traits: Obsessive, stubborn, self conscious and uptight.
This is exactly me excpet for patient.

How do you know you are B?

O is the blood type of human being, predominant also in the Celtic nations, the most civilised world on the globe. I only hate AB, because I understand them nothing. It doesn’t agree with me. I must put them off at all costs.

At least true for Asia. It's a social rule. The people are strictly categorised into that way.

Probably because I did a blood test?

in genera, like in human relation ,A's is storinger than O
O's is stronger than B
B's is stronger Than A
it can apply the countory's relation by country's dominant blood type.

However, When the problem of something happens, the standpoint of these is reversed.

The Japanese/Asians tend to look up A, because they worship the western nations. I don’t know if they are stronger or weaker but it really depends on the person. If you feel someone can give you what he/she has and you can give him/her what you have means you can get on well with that person. But if you cannot tolerate that person then that means he/she cannot tolerate you. That is the case when you don’t agree with each other and cannot get on with him/her. My dad is O, mom is A, brother and sister are A and I’m O. I don’t like A’s certain weird characteristics but they are not something I cannot tolerate. One of my friends is B and I don’t also like some of his strange personalities but I get on with him OK. O is good and bad, has 100% the same soul as mine. I like them the most. I cannot deny myself. What I don’t like is AB. I never agree with them and they never agree with me. They are nothing but sick. Horrible.

Many people in Russia or India are bloodtype B.

There used to be many slaves in Russia and the nation was constantly devastated by the bloody wars. Blood type Bs have always been next to the hell. They are the darkside aren't they. ;)

So are you saying that entire 65 billion human beings can fall into either one of those four personality characters?

I don't think so. It's the effect of a placebo. There are people who believe it in Asia. So it becomes a social norm and the people behave that way. It's a way of controlling the people. A piece of crap who uses that trick.

By the way, Jesus Christ is AB, a messenger who attempted to contact with the god and has eternally saved the human being and their pains by showing the truth of the world. The world can go either direction depending on how you wish. I believe in him. He's a great AB for me. At least he heard my voice and my wishes have come true several times so far. Currently where I am standing at is the proof of the truth what he has shown me. Thanks god. I now understand what you meant. :)

It's PSEUDOSCIENCE you know...... I'm ashamed of being Japanese when I see people drawing connection between bloodtype and personality. Public understandings of science is crucial for Japan and now what? blood type? "minus ion"? "germanium necklace"? "say nice thing to water"? :bash:
