Does Your Blood Type Determine Your Personality?

　　If you’ve studied biology, then at some point you’ve probably learned about blood types. Or perhaps you have learned something about blood types from books. Either way, you likely know that there are four main blood types: A, B, O, and AB. These letters correspond to two antigens, A and B, that exist (or don’t exist) on the surface of your red blood cells. People with AB blood have both antigens, those with A or B have only one, and people with O have no antigens at all.

　　So, what does blood type mean to you personally? If you’ve ever had a blood transfusion, then you are probably aware that your blood type determines which blood you can receive. Maybe you’re into fad diets and think that you should plan your meals based on your blood type. Or perhaps you think your blood type has a significant impact on your personality. This last concept—known as the blood type personality theory—is popular in Asia, particularly in South Korea and Japan.

　　The theory is based on the idea that people’s ABO blood type can be used to predict elements of their personality, overall temperament, and even their compatibility with others. Someone with type-A blood is thought to be considerate but shy. They are good team players, but as perfectionists, they tend to suffer from anxiety. People with type-B blood are known for being creative but eccentric. They are highly individualistic, though, and that means they can come across as a bit selfish. Type-O individuals are considered to be some of the most sociable people. They are generous to others but may be a bit stubborn and unorganized. Those with type-AB are rational artists, but with some negative traits like being calculating or unpredictable.

「血型性格論」大揭密

　　如果你學過生物學，那麼在某些時候你可能已經了解了血型。或者你可能從書本上學到了一些關於血型的知識。無論是哪種方式，你可能知道有四種主要的血型：A、B、O 和 AB。這些字母對應於紅血球表面存在（或不存在）的兩種抗原 A 和 B。AB 血型的人兩種抗原都有，A 型或 B 型的人只有一種，O 型的人完全沒有抗原。

　　那麼，血型對你個人來說意味著什麼？如果你曾經接受過輸血，那麼你可能知道血型決定了你可以接受什麼血。也許你熱衷於流行減肥飲食法，而認為你應該根據你的血型來規劃你的飲食。又或者你可能認為血型對個性有重大的影響。後面這個概念 —— 被稱為血型性格論 —— 在亞洲很流行，尤其是韓國（南韓）和日本。

　　該理論基於這樣一種觀點，即人們的 ABO 血型可以用來預測他們個性的要素、整體的氣質，甚至與他人的相容性。A 型的人被認為體貼但害羞。他們是優秀的團隊合作者，但身為完美主義者，他們容易感到焦慮。B 型的人以富有創造力但古怪著稱。但是，他們是高度個人主義的，那意味著他們可能會讓人感覺有點自私。O 型的人被認為是最善於交際的人。他們對別人很慷慨，但可能有點固執和沒有條理。AB 型的人是理性的藝術家，但也有一些負面的特徵，比如有心機或捉摸不定。
