Bloodgroup,. Personality And Prospects- Japanese Matchmaking.

I found this in Yahoo! News

The Japanese believe that your blood type tells you what you are. It is very common for people to ask you what your blood group is, so pervasive is this science of blood group personality prediction. And cashing in on the belief, people are writing books that bust the chart.

Japan's top ten bestsellers were topped by four titles which were all about blood type personalities. In total, the Japanese bought  over 5 million copies of these books.

Depending on your blood group the label goes thus: A is sensitive; B is cheerful, eccentric and selfish; O is curious, generous and stubborn; AB loves art, is mysterious and unpredictable. In case you want more, please go here- Issendai's Lair -"More Educational Than A Boot To the Head" and here- Japan Visitor 

And in televisions, you get to hear your blood group horoscope predictions for the day in the morning. People do matchmaking with these blood group horoscopes.

And companies make decisions about assignments based on employees blood types, they even go as far as to ask for the blood group during the interviews. Children at kindergarten are divided into sections by blood type. 

And anime, manga and video game characters have a specified blood group, so that you get some extra depth of personality.

And take this hint: if you are buying a condom, you must choose the type of condom that matches your blood-group. What has condom to do with blood-group, you might ask, as I do, but not the Japanese. They know.
