Tell me your blood type and I'll tell you who you are

If you go to a job interview in Japan, one of the first questions we must answer is what your blood group. And it is not seeking donors. For the Nipponese blood type defines our personality.

According to the Japanese, the blood group A are perfectionists but too anxious. Those in group B are lively, eccentric and selfish. The 0 are curious, generous and stubborn. And the AB are creative, mysterious and unpredictable. The trouble is that although it is as senseless as a horoscope, most Japanese seem to believe blindly. Even Prime Minister Taro Aso has given enough importance to make public on the Internet that he belongs to group A, while the opposition leader, Ozawa, is a "B".

And there's more. Four of the ten best sellers in Japan in 2008 were devoted to how the blood group (ketsueki-gata) determines personality. The obsession has reached the marriage agencies, which make blood compatibility test to its customers, to human resources departments, which take into account the blood type to accept or reject a candidate, and even many gardens childhood where children are separated according to their blood type. Even video game characters as popular as Resident Evil or Final Fantasy on your profile include blood type. "We could be facing a new type of discrimination," Junichi Wadayama alert, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Japan, which ensures that problems start to appear are very similar to those posed by racism.
