Rachel, I’ve no idea I’m just repeating what I’ve heard. Still, as you’ve noted, these classifications should be taken with a grain of salt.

-jay, the “why” for ketsu eki gata, dates back to the 1930’s, some time after after blood typing was first discovered (1901).

The Nazis got their hands on it and naturally corrupted it to further their propaganda. They stated that since Type B (mostly Jews and Asians) blood had much in common with animals (BS) they were inferior to the Germans (mostly Type A and O).

The Japanese were incensed at this, rightly so, and developed ketsu eki gata as a way to counter these baseless claims. It faded away after a time and was only revived in the 70’s.

“How” is a question I could only theorize upon.

That’s…

ridiculous.

I wonder why/how people come up with this. I have type A blood – and have hear others describe me as a bold, cunning, creative, ambitious, independent, critical and unpredictable individual all the time, which can’t be any more different than the description alongside the chart.

Ah, for those of us who don’t understand Japanese, here’s a translation for comment #1:

“Area Believer Number 1″ says:

You cannot use the word “ketsuekigata” to describe both the scientific term “blood type” and the discriminatory and unscientific “ketsuekigata”. If you say blood type and ketsuekigata are different than that is OK.

Thank You CK for the translation!

But wouldn’t that make them balanced? You know, half of this, half of that, but not committed to either? Geminis and Libras sound like AB and no one’s running away from them that I know of. How unfair to label ABs as crazy! I can see why some people might get discriminated against if the society swallowed this all wholesale…

It’s something my wife was telling me once. Something about how they are split between the A and B while not completely belonging to either. I can’t remember the specifics, but yah. They’re supposed to be a bit emotionally unstable
