do u know that japanese people have this "
superstition" that blood type is related to personality? since i came to japan, this is one of the things that i find interesting. with that said, i found myself eager to know my own blood type, since malaysians don't really care bout that as much as the japanese do. my japanese friends around me always say that i "
look" like an O-type or an AB-type, according to my personality. O-type people are said to be an
outgoing,
social butterfly kinda person, while AB-type people are
sensitive, and
have "double" personality as it's the mix of A and B, so they said.
so yesterday, off to the blood-donating clinic, i went. i asked my mom once for both my parents' blood types, and since they are B and O, i thought i must be O since most japanese people think i'm O, according to their blood-personality theory. but, to my surprise, the result turned out to be
B! shocker,
i know. haha. then, had the donating process started, quite painful at first, i must say, and i still couldn't believe that i went through my
first-ever-blood-donating-of-my-life just to know my blood type!
talking bout sacrifices u have to make.. =p
let's check out what do the japanese think of each blood type:
Type A blood type A personalities are the cautious, loyal introverts.
Speaking broadly, it is said that people with Type A Blood are calm, composed, and
very level-headed and serious. They have a firm character, and are reliable and
trustworthy (and hardheaded). They think things over and make plans deliberately, and
they plug away at things steadily and assiduously. They try to make themselves more
like their own ideal of what they should be. A Types may look aloof or distant to others.
They try to suppress their own emotions, and because they have continual practice in
doing this, this makes them appear strong. But, actually, they have a fragile, nervous
side, as well. They tend to be hard on people who are not of the same type, and so they
consequently tend to be surrounded with people of the same temperament.
Type B
blood type B personalities are the cheerful, adventurous egocentrics.
People with Type B Blood are curious about and interested in everything. That's may be
good, but they also tend to have too many interests and hobbies, and they tend to get
all excited about something suddenly and then later drop it again just as quickly. But
they do manage to know which of their many interests or loved ones are the ones that
are really important, the ones they should hold on to. B Types tend to excel in things
rather than just be average. But they tend to be so involved in their own world or become
so carried away with something that they neglect other things. They have the image of
being bright and cheerful, full of energy and enthusiasm, but some people think that they
are really quite different on the inside. And it can also be said about them that they don't
really want to have much real contact with others.
Type O
blood type O personalities are the sociable, dramatic overachievers.
Type O Blood people are said to set the mood for a group and to take on the role of
creating harmony among its members. Their image is one of taking it easy, of being
peaceful and carefree. They are also thought to be big-hearted and benevolent, and they
tend to spend money on others generously. O Types are generally "loved by all." But,
they also, surprisingly, have a stubborn and strong-willed side, as well, and tend to
secretly have their own opinions on things. On the other hand, they have the flexible,
adaptable side of readily accepting new things. They are easily influenced by other
people or by what they see on TV. They seem to appear level-headed and trustworthy,
but they often slip and make big blunders inadvertently. But that is also the point that
makes O Types lovable.
Type AB
blood type AB personalities are the instinctive, easy-going diplomats.
People with Type AB Blood are said to have a delicate sensitivity. They are considerate
of other people's feelings and deal with them with care and caution. On the other hand,
though, they are strict with themselves and those close to them. They, therefore, seem
to have two personalities: one for those "outside," and another for people on the "inside."
They often become sentimental, and they tend to think too deeply about things. AB
Types have a lot of friends, but they need time to be alone and think things through, as
well.
