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.You are what you bleed: In Japan and other east Asian countries some believe blood type dictates personalityA 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.
