Our blood types are determined according to the kinds of antigens located on our red blood cells. The symbols A, B, AB and 0 refer to the antigen types. Group A is the one that has A antigens; group B, B antigens; AB both; and 0 has none.

2. The reason why such a classification was needed is mixing different types of blood can lead to serious health problems.

For example, if your blood  type is 0, getting a transfusion of AB can even lead to serious complications, including death.

3. In 1930 the Japanese professor, Takeji Furukawa, took this matter out of medical science's monopoly and wrote an article claiming that our blood types could tell a lot about our personalities.

The type of antigen found on the red blood cells of a person, also tells us about how much of which hormone is released in that person's body. If your blood is type A,  it is pretty likely that your body releases a lot of stress hormone, named cortisol. There are also particular disease risks attributed to this type: 20% higher chance of gastric cancer compared to the types 0 and B; 5% higher chance of heart diseases compared to type 0. Well, it isn't all bad; type A is not that popular among mosquitoes, they will bother you much less!

People who have type A blood, which is one of the most common types, like cooperation, helping people, are sensitive, intelligent, and perfectionists. It is important for them that they build good relationships with others, which can sometimes lead them to hide their real emotions. That's why they might sometimes feel uncomfortable around people and turn out to be shy and introverted. 

These people can be very tense and impatient, however when faced with a crisis, they are very well able to stay calm and show the strength that they have. Because they are very responsible and have a good work discipline, they are very likely to lead a successful life.

People who have this blood type may sometimes experience sleep disorders due to stress. Stress is one of the factors that most often affects their lives. Additionally, they are the most creative people because of their sensitive personality.

People who have type AB blood, which is the rarest type, are pretty popular. As there is both A and B antigens on their red blood cells, their characters might be made up by the aspects inherent in their sub types. For example these people might be both shy and friendly.

The best thing about these people is their mentality: they aren't bothered by little things. They like leading an active and exciting life, and have spirituality.

Although they are responsible, they don't like being asked many questions or ordered. They like doing things their way. Lastly, just like the people who have type  A blood, they also experience stress related problems.

People who have this type of blood, which is another one of the most common types, love their freedom. They are both good leaders and love solitude. They are brave people with high self-esteem, however, they also care about what others think of them.

Their intuitions and concentration skills are strong, but they are also unreliable people because they give up too easily.

However, saying that being unreliable is the only bad this about these people wouldn't be incorrect. They are energetic, social and the center of attention in social gatherings. They rarely experience stress related problems. It is also true that they feel much better when they are physically active.
