In fact I’ve deliberately located my introduction in the bottom of this blog because I felt it sounds a bit bored to start reading, but I believe it will be very much helpful for those who are interested in the concept of Blood Types & Personalities with some mutual connections in combination.

Following the concept is entirely a personal choice. However, it doesn’t take much to know your blood type, does it?
For your references, the concept of relating blood type and personality comes mostly or mainly from the Korean & Japanese cultures (originally from Japan, I think), which are of the belief that a person's blood type has a marked influence on his/her personality type, his/her general disposition and his/her rapport with others. Generally speaking, this concept is based on Biostatistics (Statistics in biological science) in theory with some common sense. Although it’s without specific basis in scientific theory and dismissed by members of the scientific community, popular belief subscribes most wholeheartedly to this concept. In the current scenario, personality tests as per blood type, often forms the basis of compatibility quizzes, while the theory is reviewed indulgently by most. On this basis, there are certain predictions that you can make on the basis of blood type, along the same lines as a sun sign places you under a set of certain characteristic traits in the West; for instance, chances are you're moody, sensitive and shy. Perhaps the statistic figures of East & West can be different but I think the basic principles are similar from each other in understanding, hence, this concept has been lately adopted in the West more and more, and naturally people have been talking about it for years. As I had been brought up in Korea (East) and I have been living in UK (West) for many years almost equally, I used to hear the question “What is your blood type” in East, similarly as common as “What is your sign?” in the West.
As we all know now, there are four basic types of blood—A, B, AB, and O—each with a positive and negative sub-type. O positive is the most common type and AB negative is the least common, but we can distinguish our personalities & characters basically into twofold; INTROVERT & EXTRAVERT (DIRECTNESS OR INDIRECTNESS, FORWARD OR BACKWARD AND SUBJECTIVE OR OBJECTIVE). In fact everybody has both characters but we say this person is more like an extravert as it objectively appears to that person more with the directness, or vice versa.
I hope you would have enjoyed in this subject of Blood Types & Personalities with some curiosity & interest.
