    Blood Types - A, B

    posted @ 3/09/2007 08:30:00 PM by MagicMystic
    Ever since podcast episode 32: “It’s in the Blood” people have been asking me to make a written hard copy of my bloodtype analysis notes. In my notes I had a much more comprehensive look at the traits and lists of characters that I never got around to talking about. So, I figure this is the perfect time to show off all the research I did for the podcast. Course, I wrote way too much, so it's coming at you in two parts.

    Persons having Rh- blood types are extremely rare in the Japanese population estimated at less than 1% of the total population, due to it’s rarity the type never developed any special signifigance. So, sorry but some of you are shite outta luck for this bloodtype interpretation thing.

    Type A blood is the most common in Japan and Germany while type O is most prevalent in the United States.

    A “The Farmer” –
    A is most compatible with A and AB.

    The honor student type. A’s are very responsible. They take charge when there are things to be done, often preferring to take care of things themselves. A’s have an innate inner strength that allows them to stay calm in extreme situations when everyone else is panicking. However, they try to avoid confrontation and can feel very uncomfortable around other people. They generally seek balance and are very polite and socially aware, but at the same time feel that they never really fit in with others. A’s can be shy and sometimes withdrawn. A’s usually respect customs, rules and common sense but contrarily, some A’s repel interaction and social norms.

    A people crave success and are perfectionists. This perfectionism and their stubborn nature is easily combined to form argumentative personality. A’s seldom apologize. A’s have a double nature formed from their gentleness and stubbornness. They are also very creative, and the most artistic of all the blood types, most likely because of their sensitivity.

    People with blood type A are also likely to be considered classic "type A's": stressed and conscientious. A’s are generally considered to be less expressive than O’s and B’s.

    Positive Traits: Calm, obeys rules, values relationships with others, very sensitive, cautious and careful, obedient, sympathetic, empathetic, self-sacrificing, polite, studious, disciplined, outwardly serious, willing to compromise, honest, loyal, perfectionist, aware of morality (knows what’s right and wrong), considerate, tries to be optimistic about past, thinks conventionally

    Negative Traits: Worries a lot, hesitant to express emotion, internally emotional, weak-willed, taciturn, stoic, indecisive, introverted, anti-social, slow to trust people, wishy-washy, nervous, detached, stressed, conciencious, perfectionist, slow to recover from emotional wounds, pessimistic about future, anxious

    B “The Hunter” –
    B is most compatible with B and AB.

    The well meaning eccentric type. B’s are the most practical of the blood groups. They are specialists in what they do. When they start a project, they spend extra time understanding and trying to follow directions than others might. When they are doing something, all of their attention is focused on it. They tend to stick to a goal and follow it through to the end, even if it seems impossible. B’s are never still even in times of physical rest they use their brains continuously. As interest is directed to the external world, thought becomes scientific and practical with respecting facts.

    B’s are stubborn and hate red tape and minor rules, they live by their own moral compass. They tend to be less than cooperative, as they tend to follow their own rules and their own ideas. It’s hard for B’s to learn and remember manners and greetings that suit their surroundings and society. They are well-meaning individualists but are ruled by their impulses. B’s pay attention to their thoughts a little more than their feelings, and therefore can sometimes seem cold and serious.
    Bs aren’t influenced by common sense or customs, so are often considered more relaxed, freewheeling, and unconventional than other types, although not necessarily to an unacceptable degree.

    Type Bs are familiar with everyone despite societal standards and do not discriminate, they automatically trust in people. B’s aren’t strongly emotional, it just seems that way because they express everything and don’t restrain their feelings at all. B’s are very empathetic and able to comprehend other people's situation. B’s are compassionate and sometimes take action instantly.

    Type B's personality is unconcerned with the society and surroundings in contrast with Type A. Gets straight to the point, not as much as O but more than A and AB. Not very ambitious, less than O and A, but more than AB. A Type-B person does not considers profit and loss like O nor do they calculate worldly value like Type A.

    Positive Traits: Does things at his or her own pace, strong personality, optimistic about the future, easy to get along with, adventurous. Cheerful, outgoing, exuberant, optimistic, adventurous, active, sensitive, kind. Continuous, intensive and wide-ranging interests. Emotional wounds heal quickly and completely. Pragmatic and objective thinking.

    Negative Traits:
    Forgetful, undecided, disorganized, noisy, spontaneous, prone to exaggeration, inclined toward dabbling in many areas and not focusing on anything, dislike restrictions, oblivious, rude, tactless, not domestically inclined, acts without thinking, self-concious
