Comments on: Korea: Blood Type and Personality http://globalvoicesonline.org/2007/09/22/korea-blood-type-and-personality/ The world is talking. Are you listening? Fri, 27 Nov 2009 04:28:31 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: my2cents http://globalvoicesonline.org/2007/09/22/korea-blood-type-and-personality/comment-page-2/#comment-1599582 my2cents Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:53:57 +0000 http://www.globalvoicesonline.org/2007/09/22/korea-blood-type-and-personality/#comment-1599582 I'm not a big fan of blood type personality, but I do believe that they provide a very convenient way to classify people into largely four groups with very distinct traits. As a student studying psychology, it's certainly unfair of a treatment to make sense of individuals this way (I mean, most likely these personality traits are in a continuum, and not in four discrete spheres that are fixed), but yet it's entertaining to see ourselves in these ways, and most likely we're operating on self-fulfilling terms when we unconsciously/consciously accept and endorse about our blood type personality.

I suppose that in the Eastern culture, somehow the belief was manifested and practiced since. What I regret about this belief is that sometimes people are weak-minded and cannot think for themselves and if popular belief among their own nationality say it's real, then that person will believe it too and resort to changing their personality and lifestyle according to what their blood-type says it to be. I'm sure that the subconscious will keep the person in check without even knowing it too. With that in mind, I believe that life experiences are what makes a person who he or she is and from that, the personality develops and grows whether they are conscious of it or not.
