Did you know that in addition to the Chinese zodiac and Western astrology, blood type is also a popular way in Chinese culture (and many other Asian countries as well) to evaluate personality and predict behavior?
Instead of what's your sign? you'll hear what's your blood type? And they are not talking about donating blood.
Like astrology, there is a scientific element to the blood type personality. Because it is based on our own body make up, those who espouse the blood type personality theory believe that how we behave is determined, in essence, by what we're made of.
See if this matches you:
Type A Blood:
A person with type A blood is very studious, on the whole, not too flashy. They make good listeners, and will try not to hurt anyone with their words or speak unnecessarily. They are decisive, but not thoughtless with their decisions. They like to follow the latest trends and dress up, but not in a flashy or gaudy way. They are very sensitive to colors, in that they will coordinate their clothing by color first, not by style. Likewise, they are very sensitive to the atmosphere and their surroundings.
Type B Blood:
A person with type B blood is outgoing and charming. They won't be picky or dwell over little things. Usually, they act first before going over the details. They are also good at reading other people and provide whatever support they need. They are very critical of appearances, but not of their own appearance. They will pick clothing by style and pattern first.
Type AB Blood:
A person with type AB blood stands out from other people. They are very sensitive to their surroundings. They are very determined to do things correctly and will speak in a serious manner. Their actions are logical, but sometimes they take action without regard for the big picture. Their dress will be in extremes, sometimes very proper, sometimes very sloppy. Will pick clothing by color first.
Type O Blood:
A person with type O blood is not flashy, but pretty, giving others a good impression. Organized and determined, they can also express the truth very clearly. This can lead to stubbornness, if they can't read their goal, they won't give up. They will try to consider everything, including the big picture. Their clothing will be less colorful and more traditional. They will choose clothing by style and pattern first.
