It's not my fault! It's my blood's!


Assalam-u-Alaikum,

I'm not much of a guy who bases people's personalities on horoscopes, predictions, DNA; but I found this information to be kinda funny so I thought I would share it with you guys.

I am not sure if you guys have heard of the Japanese blood type theory of personality. The discovery of different blood types was made in 1901 and was hailed as one of the greatest achievements in medical history. Unfortunately however, this theory was used by the Nazis to further their eugenics (a certain social philosophy) program and claim the superiority of Germans — mostly types A and O — over Jews, Asians and others who had a larger proportion of type B blood.

Masahiko Nomi wrote a book in the late 70s which tried to show the relationship between blood type and personality. This theory was quite a craze in the 30s in Japan, and as such the military tried to use this study to try and breed better soldiers. However this theory lacked scientific evidence so it was eventually thrown out. Any who, check out and see where you fall, but try your best not to blame your blood type for your personality :-) .
