Thinking of socializing Japan? If that is the case, you should not forget to bring your blood type ID card. If one were to call it, if not due to science and military research, blood type personality would actually turn out to be a modern superstition. However, over the decades, blood type personality has become a unique belief of these few eastern countries (initially Japan and currently creeping over to other oriental countries like Korea and Taiwan).
ABO blood type personality or kitsueki-gata is a type of personality determinant where they believe that a person's blood type is predictive of their personality, temperament, compatibility with others, inheritance of traits and all that is pretty similar to those of the astrology and star signs.
This blood type personality belief is usually used and popular in matchmaking and even on job interviews. Obviously there are always who would take advantage of something like this. The many types of media in Japan have been spreading this pseudoscience and been ripping off benefits and advantages of this blood type personality thingy. Books and magazines initially on the issue of blood type personality is a definite major seller. Even employers have been taking in workers according to their blood type, believing that some blood type works well with other certain blood type and vice versa.

However, they are often more relaxed, with free-spirited attitude and seemingly unconventional.
Type O
A person with blood type O is an epitome of a happy person. Type-O is often outgoing, energetic and loves to socialize. Perhaps a great initiator but they are, at times find it hard to keep track with difficulties. They are flighty and not too dependable.

Type AB
Most unpredictable for having the characteristic of both A and B blood type, the people with AB blood type can be very hard to sort them out.

They are mostly interested in art and metaphysics.
