Do you think your blood type have a significant impact on
you?
The BBC Magazine article “Japan and blood types: Does it
determine personality?” reports that Japanese people strongly believe that
blood types are influential on one's temperament and personality. Sometimes
this belief is applied in an unbelievable way. For example, a company selects
only AB-type candidates to work for them because of the particular ability that
is believed to be embedded in this blood type. Dividing people by their blood
type can be deemed as discrimination.
In my opinion, not only Japanese people believe in the
wisdom behind the blood type Thai people also share the same belief; however,
not to the same extent. In Thailand, there are many books relating to a belief
about blood types in the book stores. For instance, a book about what
personalities are normally found in each blood type person, and a book advising
how to confront with people with different blood types. In the recent year,
blood type has become a very popular subject among health-concerned people
because they believe that people with different blood types have different
needs for their diet.
Anyhow, the interpretation of blood type came from
statistical data that were collected from some groups of people. Perhaps it
does not exactly reflect what type of person you are. This is because there are
several factors that result in your personality such as culture, environment,
and education. Consequently, some interpretation of blood types may be right
for some people but not for others. We also cannot judge other people by what
blood types they are. It is unfair and
unjust to judge a person by his or her blood type. It is like a proverb word
“we cannot judge to book by its cover”.

My sister also is interesting in blood types. She have at least 2 books about interpretation of blood type. She can tell a correct blood type for many people by their personality. Moreover, she said that if we can know blood type of other, we will understand others better, accept their personality easier and can deal with other emotion in any situations.
ReplyDeleteAll most of my friend believe connection of blood and charactaristic and it becomes a topic of conversation many times. Actually, I didn't believe it but when I met new person, I sometimes judge impression of them to ask their blood type. This is recent Japanese culture, and maybe continue more years.
ReplyDeleteYour post remind me some blood group cartoon. It is really interesting and sometime match with real blood group characters. In the cartoon, many situations, shows how A, B,AB and O people respond to particular situation when they are altogether, for example, eating launch, reaching each aim, or solving problem. There are various feedbacks from various blood types. Sometime the action is incredible, but it might be real. I am sorry that I cannot give any example because there are plenty of events and I cannot remember them in details.
