[Today's Lisa Zate Topic] Asians who are particular about blood type

It is said that only Asian people are concerned about blood type in the world. In Japan, the number of people is large in the order of A, O, B, AB. By the way, the United States and Australia seem to have a large O type, also there are countries in the world that have only one blood type. It seems that the O type is the most common in the world.

Blood type personality judgment and fortune-telling are especially common in Asia, and I rarely hear about them in Europe and the United States. So far, many love books and fortune-telling books on blood types have been published in the country. This is the same in Korea. How are Asians so interested in blood types?

From the perspective of Japanese psychology, it is said that there is no statistical relationship between the blood type personality theory and the actual blood type. Blood type personality theory is one of the themes of psychological research in Japanese psychology. It is said to be useful for researching communication and thinking.

Also, it seems that B type is the most common person who has experienced discrimination based on blood type. In addition, the type AB, which is the smallest in Japan, is likely to be the target. In addition, although various medical studies are being conducted here and there, there are still few supporters for the effectiveness of blood type personality theory such as inconsistent data.

In the West, different relationships have been proposed by using the type of body fluid in addition to the blood type, and in fact, animals have been used. By the way, it was announced that chimpanzees have only one blood type and other animals have different blood types.

In the first place, this ABO blood group was discovered in Germany in 1902, and further research has not yet been announced to determine the relationship between blood group and human personality.

So why do Japanese people stick to blood types? Since the 1980s, the boom has arrived through the media such as TV. In addition, songs and commercials based on blood were made, and Japanese people have become "blood type lovers".

Today, most of the personalities are classified, and it is reported that the majority of Japanese are positive agreement on blood type theory. Anyway, it's still a faint topic in the world, but no one knows if the blood type will affect personality exactly.
