Can Blood Type Determine Your Personality?

divinecaroline.com:

I have a rare blood type--AB , which only 4 percent of the U.S. has--and secretly, I always thought it made me kind of special, even though I had no basis for that belief. But in Japan, blood type is used to determine one's personality and temperament. Like astrology, the scientific community often dismisses blood type as an indicator of personality, but that doesn't stop its popularity in Japanese women's magazines, where blood type horoscopes are published. In Japanese video games, blood type is commonly a dimension in character creation. In fact, some Japanese might even be shocked if a foreigner didn't know her blood type.

At any point in time the chemical or atomic state has the potential for mesurement. But it will do little to predict the state where you will be in the next instant.

Christ said , "judge the tree by the fruit it brares". Observing ones action to me is the best barometeric measurement of personality, et al. There are physical, psychological, mental, meta-physical and spiritual systems at work in each individual.

This is ridiculous. Everyone should know their blood type but not for the purpose this article states.

What is happening to Huffington Post? Waaayyyyyyyyy too many superficial articles. I had to post b/c I wonder who is deciding what article/blogs get posted.

Is anyone listening? This stuff is just C. R. A. P.

It's funny. I live in Japan and people do like to ask about blood type. They also couldn't be further off with their descriptions. I'm O- (rare in Japan by the way) yet my personality is definitely in line with what they describe for A. Where do people come up with this stuff?

I have never seen a personality indicator be farther off than what they say I am with a type A blood type. Silly, silly, silly. (And they're completely off about my type O husband.)

Wow. I can't wait to see these in fortune cookies. Will you have to pr!ck your finger and bleed on the cookie first?
And here I thought my blood type just indicated what part of the world some dominant part of my family came from.

My blood type says I can be a universal donor --- nothing more.
