I lived most of my young life totally unaware of my blood type until I became a blood donor.  Then, of course, I watched people hop on the Blood Type Diet bandwagon in the early 2000’s.  When I did a little research I learned such a vibrant amount of lore about my own blood type, I became more interested in the topic.  If a certain type of blood could require certain food, it seemed possible that  blood type really could possibly relate to personality…

It turns out that the Japanese even have a system of personality types that relate to blood type. Does this resonate with you?

You can read more in the Great Geek Manual about the Japanese lore, including the DATING COMPATIBILITY of blood types:

Romantic Compatibility by Blood Groups:

A is most compatible with A and AB

B is most compatible with B and AB

AB is most compatible with AB, B, A and O

O is most compatible with O, and AB

Now, to the alien blood types (!) …

Apparently, if you have no Rhesus factor in your blood you  don’t have the gene that links you to the Rhesus monkey.  If you have a positive blood type, you DO have this Rhesus factor.  Without it, your blood type is negative.  Apparently about 15% of the population is Rhesus negative. You can read more on Rhesus negative blood from Stanford right HERE.   If you do some Googling you will learn that you are part alien (!) though that has not been substantiated.  No one is quite sure exactly where the RH- came from. I will leave the interpretation up to you.

There are Facebook groups and online support groups for RH- individuals. Why?

Being RH negative has an ANECDOTAL link  to the following traits (via the Rh Negative Registry) :

• A feeling of not belonging
• Truth seekers
• Sense of a “Mission” in life
• Empathy & Compassion for Mankind
• An extra rib or vertebra.
• Higher than average IQ
• ESP Ability
• Love of Space & Science
• More sensitive vision & other senses.
• Increased of psychic/intuitive abilities
• Cannot be cloned
• Lower body temperature
• Higher blood pressure (some say lower)
• Predominantly blue, green, or Hazel eyes
• Red or reddish tint to hair color
• Increased sensitivity to heat & sunlight
• Unexplained Scares
• Piercing Eyes
• Tend to be Healers
• Empathetic Illnesses
• Ability to disrupt electrical devices
• Prone to Alien Abductions
• Experience unexplained phenomenon 
• Physic Dreams and/or Ability

Now, if you are AB- you are in a different boat: 1% or less of the population has this blood type.  There is a LOT of lore about the AB- blood type from very specious websites.  Apparently, you might share a blood type with many Presidents, and maybe even Mick Jagger and Marilyn Monroe; I dig that.

While it’s all just a fantastical story until it is really proven, there is something lyrical and literary about this other layer of personality that, even more than the planets and the stories of prophets, I find so interesting…!

Do you know your blood type? Are you of the mind that this stuff rings true? xoxo Dana
