While doing our introductions at my new public school I was surprised by the first question of one of the elementary students. "What is your blood type?" Why do koreans find that so important? Most kids in the US probably do not even know what a blood type is!!!! It was not only this student, but all 3 classes asked the same question. My only answer was blood type "R" Shocked

some koreans believe that blood type influences your personality. blood type b- i think is the worst.

I've heard this from Koreans a few times too. I don't actually know my blood type, so they started analyzing my personality to figure out what it might be.

What is the best blood type to have?

The best is 0 and the worst is B. At least if a guy has B that's supposed to be really bad. Mine is A and that's kinda okay.

As a superior being, with O-, I concur with SeoulFinn that O is best. False humility is not one of our traits.

Just tell them it's none of their business and that superstitions are stupid.

Almost all gorillas are Blood Type B.

I had a Japanese doctor in Seattle that seemed to subscribe to this theory. Disturbing.

Blood type B is supposedly the 'playboy'... I've even heard of some K women who won't date a B boy.

Apparently type O is the best to have. Coincidentally (yeah right) that's what most Koreans have.

Type A

Speaking broadly, it is said that people with Type A Blood are calm, composed, and very level-headed and serious. They have a firm character, and are reliable and trustworthy (and hardheaded). They think things over and make plans deliberately, and they plug away at things steadily and assiduously. They try to make themselves more like their own ideal of what they should be. A Types may look aloof or distant to others. They try to suppress their own emotions, and because they have continual practice in doing this, this makes them appear strong. But, actually, they have a fragile, nervous side, as well. They tend to be hard on people who are not of the same type, and so they consequently tend to be surrounded with people of the same temperament.

Type B

People with Type B Blood are curious about and interested in everything. That's may be good, but they also tend to have too many interests and hobbies, and they tend to get all excited about something suddenly and then later drop it again just as quickly. But they do manage to know which of their many interests or loved ones are the ones that are really important, the ones they should hold on to. B Types tend to excel in things rather than just be average. But they tend to be so involved in their own world or become so carried away with something that they neglect other things. They have the image of being bright and cheerful, full of energy and enthusiasm, but some people think that they are really quite different on the inside. And it can also be said about them that they don't really want to have much real contact with others.

Type O

Type O Blood people are said to set the mood for a group and to take on the role of creating harmony among its members. Their image is one of taking it easy, of being peaceful and carefree. They are also thought to be big-hearted and benevolent, and they tend to spend money on others generously. O Types are generally "loved by all." But, they also, surprisingly, have a stubborn and strong-willed side, as well, and tend to secretly have their own opinions on things. On the other hand, they have the flexible, adaptable side of readily accepting new things. They are easily influenced by other people or by what they see on TV. They seem to appear level-headed and trustworthy, but they often slip and make big blunders inadvertently. But that is also the point that makes O Types lovable.

Type AB

People with Type AB Blood are said to have a delicate sensitivity. They are considerate of other people's feelings and deal with them with care and caution. On the other hand, though, they are strict with themselves and those close to them. They, therefore, seem to have two personalities: one for those "outside," and another for people on the "inside." They often become sentimental, and they tend to think too deeply about things. AB Types have a lot of friends, but they need time to be alone and think things through, as well.

Today's hot Korean dating tip.

Whatever you do boys, don't tell a Korean girl you are type B.
Type B's, apparently in the eyes of most Korean girls, are playboys and can't be trusted. They don't date type B 'Windy Boys' unless "they are rich".

If you are looking for dates, tell them you are type A. Type A's are "shy" and not playboys (windy guys). Bad luck for you though if you fall in love and want to marry the Korean girl. The pre-marital blood test will find you out!
