Korean people stereotype people with blood type AB as critical, indecisive, unpredictable, emotional and are most likely to be geniuses.
Korean people stereotype people with blood type O as being leaders, easygoing, friendly, outgoing.

    Thanks for the regular updates on this great website! Nice video like always! :)
    I don’t know which blood type I have, but based on these stereotypes I would say I got A or AB… haha
    Well, I will remember this when I find out one day, maybe it will fit! :D

    This video is very interesting! I would like to find out which blood type I am sometime in the future. I am kind of shy, sometime unable to express my feeling and tend to be a perfectionist. However, I am not very… very patient! Looks like my blood type must be A.

    As an America, I have no idea what my blood type is, but I have never met a Korean person that doesn’t know theirs. It’s pretty ridiculous. It’s also one of the first questions that Koreans ask when you meet them for the first time.

    My blood type is O. I would say that it does fit with this stereotype but I also fit the type A stereotype at the same type. I should be OA in this case :D

  • Mike July 17, 2012

    I’ve found out that my blood type is O, not an A type of blood… I am wondering why most of typical stereotype in blood type A is still in me…

    PS. I love that you guys included a video summary on the bottom. Actually my friend is hard of hearing so she can’t enjoy all of the videos. So it’s quite helpful!

  • Karlo November 20, 2012

    (PHL) What a suprise! I have all of those at blood type A!

  • Anonymous November 26, 2012

    I have no idea what my blood type is. I think I fit every category pretty well. From Type A, I fit all of those. From Type B, I fit everything except inconsiderate. From Type AB, I fit everything except emotional. From Type O, I think I’m just not easygoing and I don’t take leadership right away. I just feel like a guide possibly. I looked up blood types for Japan however, and I seem to fit type every blood type except B. They should invent a new blood type :) .

  • Grrr December 22, 2012

  • Sisi February 1, 2013

  • Ray February 7, 2013

    According to the information I’m either type A or AB, but i really don’t know my blood type I wish i could find out for real

  • mimi February 9, 2013

    R o plus blood rare

  • Lili February 18, 2013

    I’m Blood type B…That so fits me because I know I would never match up with A or O. I can act too much of a jerk when angered and manage to piss people off over and over again with my (AWESOME!!!!!!) Korean spirit. I’m as close as I can get to AB without being one because I will never be a genius.

  • YeSeul February 28, 2013

    Blood type A – introverted, considerate, self-conscious, patient, unable to express emotions well and tend to be perfectionists…

    I can say I agree… :)

  • Naomi May 9, 2013

    I’m B. and it fits me perfectly haha.
