What does your blood type mean?
A common superstition in Japan is that blood type is an indicator of a
person's personality; similar to the Western belief in the Signs of the
Zodiac (the Zodiac custom is also popular in Japan). This custom is said
to have started in 1916 when some doctors in Japan made a medical report
stating that people with Type A Blood were generally mild-tempered and
intellectual, while people with Type B Blood were just the opposite. Today
in Japan, blood type is popularly used as a personality-type indicator.
Even though it hasn't been proven to have any scientific basis, many
Japanese people believe in these distinctions to one degree or another.
Blood Type A is the most common Japanese blood type. In America, Blood
Type O is by far the most prevalent. In Japan, schools carry out thorough
physical exams, and so the majority of Japanese people find out their own
blood types from the results of these exams. Many Japanese are amazed to
learn that a large number of Americans don't know their own blood types.
"What's your blood type?" is a question heard much more frequently in
Japan than, say, "What's your zodiac sign?" is heard in America. It is
sometimes even used in casual self-introductions in informal situations.
Naoko Takeuchi mentions the blood types of her characters several times
throughout the Sailor Moon series. Blood type is considered an important
enough characteristic in Japan for Ms. Takeuchi to give the blood types of
each of her characters in their profiles. For example, in one such
introduction of her characters, she includes the name, birthday, zodiac
sign, blood type, age, and school name, in that order. And sure enough,
the personalities of her characters conform to a large degree to these
blood-type stereotypes.
If you don't already know the blood types of the Sailor Scouts, read the
descriptions below and see if you can guess what blood type each of the
main characters has!
Type A- Speaking broadly, it is said that people with Type A Blood are
calm, composed, and very level-headed and serious. They have a firm
character, and are reliable and trustworthy (and hardheaded). They think
things over and make plans deliberately, and they plug away at things
steadily and assiduously. They try to make themselves more like their own
ideal of what they should be. A Types may look aloof or distant to others.
They try to suppress their own emotions, and because they have continual
practice in doing this, this makes them appear strong. But, actually, they
have a fragile, nervous side, as well. They tend to be hard on people who
are not of the same type, and so they consequently tend to be surrounded
with people of the same temperament.
Type B- People with Type B Blood are curious about and interested in
everything. That's may be good, but they also tend to have too many
interests and hobbies, and they tend to get all excited about something
suddenly and then later drop it again just as quickly. But they do manage
to know which of their many interests or loved ones are the ones that are
really important, the ones they should hold on to. B Types tend to excel
in things rather than just be average. But they tend to be so involved in
their own world or become so carried away with something that they neglect
other things. They have the image of being bright and cheerful, full of
energy and enthusiasm, but some people think that they are really quite
different on the inside. And it can also be said about them that they
don't really want to have much real contact with others.
Type O- Type O Blood people are said to set the mood for a group and to
take on the role of creating harmony among its members. Their image is one
of taking it easy, of being peaceful and carefree. They are also thought
to be big-hearted and benevolent, and they tend to spend money on others
generously. O Types are generally "loved by all." But, they also,
surprisingly, have a stubborn and strong-willed side, as well, and tend to
secretly have their own opinions on things. On the other hand, they have
the flexible, adaptable side of readily accepting new things. They are
easily influenced by other people or by what they see on TV. They seem to
appear level-headed and trustworthy, but they often slip and make big
blunders inadvertently. But that is also the point that makes O Types
lovable.
Type AB- People with Type AB Blood are said to have a delicate
sensitivity. They are considerate of other people's feelings and deal with
them with care and caution. On the other hand, though, they are strict
with themselves and those close to them. They, therefore, seem to have two personalities: one for those "outside," and another for people on the
"inside." They often become sentimental, and they tend to think too deeply
about things. AB Types have a lot of friends, but they need time to be
alone and think things through, as well.
Let's see if you got the right answers!

Actually, to get deep enough into the personality, you have to consider that all blood types have a positive and negative attribute, and the Japanese took that into account.
(Taken from Growlanser III: The Dual Darkness' blood type explainations)
A Positive - Law-abiding, honest, neat, diligent, orderly, methodical, fashionable, steady, loyal.
A Negative - Selfish, secretive, picky, softspoken, pessimistic, inflexible, gossipy, boorish when drunk.
B Positive - Outgoing, original, adventurous, optimistic, independant, flexible, candid, persuasive, passionate.
B Negative - Fickle, uncpredictable, indiscreet, overbearing, impatient, lazy.
O Positive - Healthy, durable, resolute, emotional, enthusiastic, athletic, sexy, goal oriented, clear-sighted.
O Negative - Status-seeking, insecure, workaholic, shy, idealistic, unreliable, greedy, jealous, obessive lover, incessant talker.
AB Positive - Diplomatic, rational, sociable, sensitive, honest, organized, strong.
AB Negative - Proud, discriminating, easily offended, calculating, a playboy/girl, a nitpicker, very conservative, hard to get to know.
If a negative type marries a postive type, their child will supposedly have some of the bad habits of the negative parent as well as some of the good habits of the positive one while growing up, then gradually gain their own blood type's personality as they become a teenager.

I don't agree with that description at all. I am more like the original Type O blood description given in the first post. xp |
