In Japan, it is commonly said that one’s personality is defined by their bloodtype. Of course the practice has been completely dismissed as thwackery but it is odd to note how many Japanese people will express an interest in your blood type (those who can harken back to the Street Fighter II days may remember the character profiles all came complete with blood types). I never knew my blood type, and nor did my parents when I asked them, so I’ve never been able to join in the stereotyping fun, until now. Anyway, the traits are as follows:
Type A:
| Best Traits: | Earnest, creative, sensible, calm. |
| Worst Traits: | Fastidious, overearnest. |
Type B:
| Best Traits: | Wild, a doer, cheerful. |
| Worst Traits: | Selfish, irresponsible, arrogant. |
Type AB:
| Best Traits: | Cool, controlled, rational. |
| Worst Traits: | Critical, indecisive. |
Type O:
| Best Traits: | Agreeable, sociable, an optimist. |
| Worst Traits: | Vain, careless, ruthless. |
T’other day, I happened to mention to my doctor that I did not know my blood type, and he freaked out, saying that we had to find out in case I got in an accident (I guess it makes sense really), before you scroll down to find out which one, take a guess.
Answer: A-
Of all those, did it seem to you that I could possibly be described as earnest? to the point of being over earnest? Nor would I describe myself as wildly creative to be frank. Still, A is the one everyone wants to be in Japan so I guess I win.
