Poll: Do you know your blood type?

ZiNgA BuRgA · 09/05/2009 11:43 PM

Having read a number of interviews with "celebrities", something which seems to be commonly mentioned is one's blood type. So why do people want to know someone's blood type (or at least, why do the interviewers think the readers want to know)?

How much do you care about blood type?
I don't even know my own blood type...

As far as I know, in Japan it's supposed to be something like your horoscope. Blood type is supposed to indicate traits about a person.

That's why alot of bios of anime characters tend to also list blood type

That's interesting - didn't know that.

Doesn't seem to be a tradition in Australia though - some people decided to copy the tradition?

All i know is i have a rare type (idk what it is) because they had a hard time finding someone to match for a transfusion :p

wiki Wrote:Cultural beliefs

The Japanese blood type theory of personality is a popular belief that a person's ABO blood type is predictive of their personality, character, and compatibility with others. It was a serious scientific hypothesis which was proposed early in the 20th century, which gained currency within the Japanese public. This theory has long since been rejected by the scientific community. (For a proponent, see Masahiko Nomi.) This belief has been carried over to a certain extent into other parts of East Asia, including South Korea and China. In all these places, asking someone their blood type is considered as normal as asking their astrological sign. It is also common for Japanese-made video games (especially role-playing games) and manga series to include blood type with character descriptions.

I think type O is like the rarest of the types.

On a different note, what type do vampires prefer?

The "tasty" kind. Usually the most innocents is the tastiest, from what I've seen in animes.

Type O negative is the rarest.

I dunno what mine is; I have been told, but I've forgotten.
