Trying to find link between Sun signs and blood types?

I came across some interesting ideas the other night. I had a conversation with a person a while back about blood types. So I went to a website to find out if there were any differences about my blood type, compared to the others, healthwise. Well at the bottom of the Wikipedia article, they talk about in Japanese culture, they have this "astrological type of system" where they think that blood type is a major indicator of personality. Like many here in the horoscope section seem to think. Well I think that there are extra-ordinary things happening that us mere humans don't know, and I do see the differences between personalities and Sun ("zodiac") signs. I'm a Scorpio if that helps, so I have all the typical Scorpio tendencies--mostly good ones anyway.

The four blood types, also called blood groups, are A, B, AB, and O. Then you have A+, A-, B+, B-, and so on for the RH factor. The article claims that there are hundreds of factors that all influence blood tranfusion compatibility. In the Japanese culture, "A" blood type is the most coveted blood type. Facebook in Asian countries it's common for people to put their "blood types" on their profiles. The scientific community by interaction considers it a superstition and pseudoscience similar to how astrological signs are.

The Japanese blood type personality chart is:

Type A

best traits: earnest, creative, sensible, reserved, patient, responsible

worst traits: fastidiou, overearnest, stubborn, tense

Type B

best traits: wild, active, doer, creative, passionate, strong

worst traits: selfish, irresponsible, unforgiving, erratic, irritable, impetous, and intentions don't always come across

Type AB

is considered to be a nice mix and generally get along with other blood types

Type O

rebelliousness, more don't have enough article info to write this

This also might sound racist, but "smart" countries or countries that seemed to have an international reputation of having a smart population have a tendency to have a blood type distribution with the majority of the population having the A phenotype. The B phenotype has a global average of teens or single digits, compared to 35-51 for type O, and 30 to 55 average for type A. So type O is more common than type B, globally. It's good type O is the "universal donor" because there are plenty of them.

The URL is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_type or Google search "blood type wiki." The corresponding is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_type_in_Japanes...

Here is a list of the "smart" countries that have more type A than type O:

Ainu indigenous (Where Samurai come from, in Japan)

Albanians

Armenians

Austrians

Bulgarians

Czechs

Danes

Egyptians

Eskimos (Alaska)

Finns (Finland)

French

Germans (Well duh or course Germans made the list)

Greeks (Socrates, Plato, etc.)

Hungarians

Hawaiians

Japanese (basically were computers come from)

Jews (Poland, Einstein came from here)

Koreans

Latvians

Maori

Norwegians (Scandinavian countries are smart on average anyway)

Poles

Portuguese

Romanians

Russians

Serbians

Spain

Swedes (Scandinavian countries again)

Swiss (Scandinavian)

Ukranian (former Russian state)

From the Wikipedia article also:

"... group B has highest frequency in Norther Indian, Central Asia, and it's influence diminish towards the west and east, falling to single digits in Spain, and considered to be absent from Native American and certain aborigine populations until the arrival of European settlers"

"Blood group A is associated with high frequencies in Europ, especially in Scandinavia and Central Europe"

So while out and about I asked people what their Sun signs and their blood types. Bad news, most Americans don't seem to know their blood types. Most of them look honest when they tell me they don't know. Well I asked like 4 people, and I got two type O's for an Earth sign and another for an Air sign. I'm type A and a Water sign. I tried to get the blood type of my friend (Aquarius) but she didn't know her blood type. Again, hard because most people don't know their blood types.

By asking those questions, I wanted to see if some illustrative bell curve showed up. Like for Water signs I would see the majority of them be A, majority of them for B be Air signs, and type O, be Earth signs, and type AB to be Fire signs. Of course not all people with type A blood are going to be Water signs (if it did I would be very alarmed), instead I wanted to see if any correlation shows up about it in the real World, the "normal distribution."

So I just wanted to get some thoughts on what youthought?

    The first warning bell should be through the countries, any one who uses the word Eskimos would be considered in poor taste, especially thinking it is associated just to the us state of Alaska, as Canada as more population of Inuits than Alaska.

    The 2nd problem I have is that the proportion of blood types are very uneven.

    This template is from the Red Cross Blood Centre

    ps just looked at the posting, and the chart did not come out well, my apologies.

    Caucasians African American Hispanic Asian

    O + 37% 47% 53% 39%

    O - 8% 4% 4% 1%

    A + 33% 24% 29% 27%

    A - 7% 2% 2% 0.5%

    B + 9% 18% 9% 25%

    B - 2% 1% 1% 0.4%

    AB + 3% 4% 2% 7%

    AB - 1% 0.3% 0.2% 0.1%

    So as you can see I am doubtful if this system could be widely used. As the population is by nature more type O. Then type A, although here it does show type B in Asians are much higher than other races.

    Interesting idea though.

    Virgo with O-Negative Lots of O-Negatives in here! I thought we were more rare than that. I read somewhere that O-negative is the only blood type that can't be reproduced by humans. The RH positive comes from monkeys. RH negative (o-negative) doesn't come from monkeys so some scientists think we're aliens.
