Japanese say that personality is determined by blood type
In Japan, asking a person’s blood type is common. In Japanese culture, they generally believe that blood type can influence several aspects of their life, and they take the relationship between blood type and an individual’s personality very seriously, even having a “blood horoscope” in newspapers and popular publications, in Japanese called Ketsueki gata seikaku handan (血液型性格判断) or Ketsueki gata uranai (血液型占い).
This belief is so ingrained in Japanese culture that blood type is even requested when filling out a Curriculum vitae, when looking for a job.
This Japanese obsession began in 1972 when a psychology professor known as Furukawa Takeji began to observe clear differences in the temperaments of his students. From his observations, he concluded that children with type A blood were more intellectual, while those who belonged to the type B group were more stubborn and temperamental. From that moment on, everyone in Japan began to focus on blood groups.
