In the United States, it is normal to match a person’s personality to horoscopes, in Japan its quite another kettle of fish, the Japanese prefer to match personality traits with blood type, this fad started in Japan during the early thirties.

In Japan from the old to young, is aware and knows their blood type, companies in Japan have even being known, to divide their workers by blood type!

The desire to know about blood type, started because of an assertion from the West, which stated that Asians were lower, in the evolutionary chain and that they were more closely related, to animals than other races.

Of cos this ridiculous as well as unscientific theory, was insulting and wasn’t demeaning to the Asian race, even though Modern Science did disprove it, a Japanese scientist called Furukawa Takeji, still took it upon himself to scientifically, disprove this obviously faulted theory, and thus emerged the idea of matching, personality traits to blood type.

Now here are the general theories, of each blood type to personality traits, also remember that the Rh factor, does not play any role to either blood type or personality traits.
