Your Blood Type = Your Personality

There exists a common yet unfamiliar belief in Japan and other East Asian countries that a person's blood type or ketsueki-gata, as they call it. (血液型) is linked to his or her personality, temperament, and compatibility with others. This is highly similar to how other countries throughout the world use astrological signs. In Japan, one's blood type plays a much significant role in personality predictions than his zodiac sign.

In 1927, a Psychology professor in Tokyo Women's Teachers School, published a paper entitled "The Study of Temperament through Blood Type" in the journal Psychological Research. He is no other than Professor Furukawa Takeji who made thorough studies about the said belief in high school students. The belief gained popularity tremendously afterwards, and this is the reason behind the privilege given by Facebook to some East Asian users to include blood types in their profile.
