Blood type personality theory

[LoLeL]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_type_personality_theory


In East Asian countries, a person's ABO blood type or ketsueki-gata (血液型?) in Japanese and hyeol-aek-hyeong (혈액형) in Korean is believed by many to be predictive of a person's personality, temperament, and compatibility with others. This is similar to how astrological signs are perceived as influencing factors in a person's life in other countries.



A popular belief in Japan is that a person's ABO blood type is predictive of their personality, character, and compatibility with others. This belief is also widespread in South Korea and Taiwan. Deriving from ideas of historical scientific racism, the theory reached Japan in a 1927 psychologist's report, and the militarist government of the time commissioned a study aimed at breeding better soldiers. The fad faded in the 1930s due to its lack of scientific basis. Ultimately, the discovery of DNA in the following decades made it clear that DNA instead had an important role in both heredity generally and personality specifically. No evidence has been found to support the blood type theory by scientists. Nevertheless, it was revived in the 1970s by Masahiko Nomi, a broadcaster with a background in law who had no scientific or medical background. Despite these facts, the myth still persists widely in Japanese and South Korean popular culture.

My blood type must be the personality type that thinks personality types based on blood types is total nonsense.

It comes from the Albino mutation its a hoax.

I am AA+ Bloodgroup A makes you more prone to blood clotting. And I have found out I have inherited one mutation of Factor V Leiden..bad combination.

People with factor V Leiden thrombophilia have a higher risk for blood clots. However, the severity of factor V Leiden thrombophilia varies greatly from person to person. It is estimated that 95% of people with one factor V Leiden mutation never develop a clot.

The factor V Leiden mutation is the most common inherited risk factor for abnormal blood clotting in the United States. Factor V Leiden mutations are estimated to be carried by:

5% of Caucasians
2% of Hispanic Americans
1% Native Americans
1% African Americans
0.5% Asian Americans

In addition, up to 14% of people in populations from Greece, Sweden, and Lebanon are thought to carry factor V Leiden.[3]

See that wikipedia link in OP (Japanese blood type personality chart).

It's true that.there are some.physical qualities inherited.by blood type but personality - no.that is nonsense.

[LoLeL]

It's true that.there are some.physical qualities inherited.by blood type but personality - no.that is nonsense.

Yeah, for example some diets and physical exercises work better for a specific blood type group.

[Oneeye]

You guys can't disprove that blood type is kot related to personality.


That said, I'm skeptical of there being a correlation.

[Al-Meksiki]

Japan really loves this hypothesis for some reason, and it's pervasive in their pop culture. Just look at any Japanese celebrity or fictional character from Japan and you'll no doubt find their blood type too.

[MissMischief]

I always wondered why Japanese games (Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, Street Fighter etc.) tell you characters' blood types with their expected name, height and age. This explains a lot.

[Dick]

I don't believe it. I know my father is O(not sure if +/-) and I inherited his personality.

[Wrong]

I actually remember reading that all Type O have an extra set of ribs on their rib cage.

Not sure if it's true,I can't count mine due to mass.

The Japanese believe in this and it's true I noticed it myself

Personality test is the new horoscope. If its vague enough it'd apply to a lot of people.

I'm literally nothing like an O personality, I think your environment shapes your personality more.
