Ahem...
I just found out a hyphotesis about blood type and I wanna see is it true.

Personality Traits By Blood Type - A Japanese Concept

Beginning in approximately 1930, the Japanese embraced the idea of matching personality traits with one's blood type. This phenomenon is as popular in Japan as the idea of matching horoscope with personality is in the States.

Almost all Japanese are aware of their blood type. The idea began when some in the west were touting the idea that the asian peoples were more closely related to animals then humans, or lower on the evolutionary chain, since type B blood was the predominant blood type in asians and animals. As ludicrous and unscientific as this idea was, it was insulting to say the least. Modern science disproves this obviously faulted idea. In the 1930's Furukawa Takeji (1891–1940) set out to disprove this notion and a new idea was born.

However, the idea of personality traits being influenced by blood type remains. Companies in Japan even had divided workers by blood type.

Here are the general ideas of each blood type. The Rh factor plays no role in the blood type/personality idea:

Type O:
Type O's are outgoing, and very social. They are initiators, although they don't always finish what they start. Creative and popular, they love to be the center of attention and appear very self confident.

Type A:
While outwardly calm, they have such high standards (perfectionists) that they tend to be balls of nerves on the inside. Type A's are the most artistic of the blood groups. They can be shy, are conscientious, trustworthy, and sensitive.

Type B:
Goal oriented and strong minded, type B's will start a task and continue it until completed, and completed well. Type B's are the individualists of the blood group categories and find their own way in life.

Type AB:
Type AB's are the split personalities of the blood groups. They can be both outgoing and shy, confident and timid. While responsible, too much responsibility will cause a problem. They are trustworthy and like to help others.

Compatability by Blood Groups:
A is most compatible with A and AB

B is most compatible with B and AB

AB is most compatible with AB, B, A and O

O is most compatible with O, and AB

By the way, I am in AB Blood type group...! /no1

Type O

But your description doesn't mention anything about being grumpy in the morning, so I'm disinclined to believe it.

by **forbidden** » Fri Jun 24, 2005 7:46 am

I'm Type B.

by **Lucky-7** » Fri Jun 24, 2005 10:39 am

Hell no I'm not shy, you can ask Forbidden about that.
As I said, got some O type blood in me from my mom. My blood type should be AO type. :lol:

by **XtremerZ** » Fri Jun 24, 2005 11:46 am

I think I'm AB.

Type AB's are the split personalities of the blood groups. They can be both outgoing and shy, confident and timid. While responsible, too much responsibility will cause a problem. They are trustworthy and like to help others.

Surprisingly, that describes me pretty well. ^_^

Or so I would like to believe...

No, don't ask me anything...I don't like questions...

No such thing...You're a type A.

Just curious: To a masquito, some blood types are "tastier" than others. This affects the chance of you getting bitten. Does anyone know which blood type is more likely to attract masquitoes?

I picked up this little article from Yahoo:

Dear Yahoo!:
Do mosquitoes prefer certain blood types?
Shannon
Tampa, Florida

Dear Shannon:
If you mean different human blood types, no, mosquitoes don't seem to care. But the little buggers do prefer the blood of some animals to others. In fact, each species of mosquito seems to have a definite animal preference. Surprisingly, humans aren't the preferred blood bank for many mosquitoes.
It may be small consolation, but mosquitoes do have their reasons for sucking blood -- blood proteins help the females lay eggs. The insects have sensors that help them find food and blood and detect carbon dioxide, which they are naturally drawn to. Mammals and birds exhale carbon dioxide, and mosquitoes can sense it from up to 100 feet away. The bugs see movement and detect visual contrast, and can also sense heat, which helps them find warm-blooded creatures like us.

Combined with carbon dioxide, certain odors like sweat and perfume can be a strong lure for mosquitoes. Curiously enough, scientists have found that drinking beer or eating Limburger cheese will make a person more attractive to mosquitoes (although probably less attractive to fellow humans).

So in short: They don't prefer any blood type in particular.

But fifty bucks says that Shannon's sleeping with the editor ^_^
