Most Japanese believe that blood type determines a person’s character. A survey says that about 80 percent grown-ups in Japan believe that blood type determines everything. Besides, the statistics tells that four of Top Ten Best Sellers in Japan are about blood types. Just in two months, about 5 million books had been sold out. It is said that some companies take people’s blood types into consideration when recruiting employees. As for looking life partners, blood type is also a very important factor. Obviously, some guys are definitely discriminated because their blood types are not welcome. The following are the features of four kinds of blood types according to these books: Type A: people who belong to A type are sensitive perfectionists. Sometimes, they are impatient and angry. Type B: Type B people are optimists. They are said to be selfish and weird sometimes. (I am B type but I don't think I am an optimist) Type O: These guys are more curious, generous but very stubborn. Type AB: AB people have high artistic endowment. They are inscrutable and hard to control.

Like Gaffer, I am a Virgo and all those in his/her list apply to me except that I am conservative in some areas but liberal in others. I do know that I am very picky and perfectionist. I will be the first one to scold myself if I did something that is not up to my ‘standards’. Still, I do not know if horoscopes are true or if it is just a coincidence.

You can tell how much I care about blood types. I do not know what my blood type is and never bothered to know. :P Thankfully, nobody asked me when I was in Japan. There is a movie in South Korea, My Boyfriend is Type B. For some reason, type B guys are usually featured in Japan and South Korean comics, movies as the leading men. I have never heard of type B as optimistic. It is said that blood type B are rugged individualists, cold, quiet and anti-social. They insist on doing things their way. Kinda like me. :P Hmm....

Type B is dominant blood in Japan. I read something on blood type written by Japanese, which most of time makes sense.

I am type B which is far away from optimistic nature, but optimistic attitudes can be nurtured by experiences, enviroments and education.

I say it sort of makes senses because I find it's no coincidence that I can get along very well with blood type O and excludes type A by nature.

BTW, there must be wrong in initiative thread about the characteristics of type O which owns the most positive elements that help the people who have it succeed.
