Blood type

[iamnotspock]

Just wondering if INTJ's tend toward a specific blood type.

I doubt it.
I think it's just gonna look like the distribution similar to the general one for the whole world pop.

[thegnat]

I don't know my blood type. Therefore I voted robot. [smiley=alien.gif]

And I *highly highly* doubt it.

Blood's function is to carry oxygen. It doesn't have any genetic material in it or anything that would determine personality.

I've actually had a friend make a comment like that once while I was driving. "Dude, you're like a robot".

But yes, blood's primary function is to carry oxygen and lymphocytes. Which is why I decided to make my own mixture from liquid oxygen(which I condensed with a vacuum cleaner, and a fruit dehydrator that I reversed the polarity on), and my own special mixture of tomato paste and janitorial sanitizing chemicals!

I wouldn't be surprised if there was some kind of common vulcan gene found exclusively in INTJ's.

Actually there has been synthetic hemoglobin research to kind of make fake blood....I'll have to find the article.

Actually there is empirical evidence on this subject:

According to Dr. McCoy, Vulcan blood is based on copper (as opposed to iron in human blood), and that is why it is green, This also accounts for Vulcan skin being yellow.

blood? who uses blood anymore?

You know that I disigned a repacement and tested it on myself. Now that I think about it that might be why I died and had to download myself into a computer.

Aliens have blood but the type is unknown and you forgot to put that in your poll and this gets them very upset!!

[amei]

Interesting poll. One thing I have learned from living in Korea is that it is popular here to belive that your blood type determines your personality, similar to horoscopes. I've had several people ask me what my blood type is and then smile and nod after I tell that I'm O-. They've told me that it's a good type, whatever that is supposed to mean.

.."The results produced 13 significant differences at a confidence interval of p<0.05 and 11 at p<0.01, the most conclusive finding occurring in the association between the P blood group system and anxiety."

They link it to personality traits which is different to types... by my understanding. Sure certain types might have similar traits but I highly you'd get anything statisicly significant by trying to box types into even smaller boxes via specific traits...

And as for Horoscopes have you ever tried reading one that wasn't yours and applying it to your life? its worked for me.. so as far as I can tell its about as valid as someone guessing your past and future by purely asking enough general questions and reading your reactions.

AB+

Best Traits: Cool, controlled, rational.
Worst Traits: Critical, indecisive.

Hah, it's dead on, but then these horoscope-like things tend to be so. I guess one believes what one wants to believe.

[gebstone]

i think being the logical, intellectual individuals that we are, we should not dabble in such unproven methods. fun to read, yes, but i'm one huge skeptic of such 'predictions'.

[PhotoJim]

AB-. World's rarest.

[vision]

There is a general trend that type O's have the largest majority of blood type in populations. I don't think that type O's dominant INTJ's apart from what I said in the last sentance.

Best Traits: Earnest, creative, sensible.
Worst Traits: Fastidious, overearnest.

I have no idea what half of those words mean.

I was reading about blood type and personality a few days ago. I think it is all bogus but it brought up an interesting website that had the blood type distribution according to nationality. In the US the predominant blood type is O while A and B blood types are found frequently in East Asian countries. AB across the board is the rarest. The Japanese think that AB is the least desirable blood type because you are neither wholly A or B -- so your personality would be moody and rebellious. Interesting that there are so many AB blood type here.

The whole blood type and personality thing is kind of interesting. It came up in the early 1900s in reaction to western scientists trying to make a distinction between Europeans and Asians (Japanese). Guess who was inferior? So anyway the blood type and personality thing caught on in Japan, with A and B being the preferable blood types. Anyway, I don't know what my blood type is. I tried to give blood to find out but they turned me away for not weighing enough.

[Duncan Cade]

AB, I have no idea wether i'm + or -.
I didn't really pay attention in my classes, but isn't AB supposed to be more rare? 18,42 % at the moment :]

There's a possibility of the availability of oxygen effecting the brain though...

How dull and ordinary.

[Antares]

lol. Good luck in trying to extract their relationship, but I've read somewhere that O is the most common, so... ;)

[DeepPurple]

Type O.

[spiritdetectivegirl]

O+, joyness.

[ElstonGunn]

Mine is B-. Which, homophonically, is also my motto.

[pavman]

I have no clue what my blood type is. Perhaps I should go donate blood to find out... will they tell you that when you donate?

Father was O, mother was AB+ I think...so could I end up O?! I didn't think that was possible... but who knows.

[AgentofGaming]

Within the last 3 years I have taken like 6 blood tests and I still don't know, someone is keeping the information from me... or I never asked.
Do you have to ask your doctor or something?

[Caramel]

This poll is missing the option 'I honestly don't know'.


...Now I feel extremely silly for not having typed my own blood before, considering I work at a laboratory. -_-

[BadMojo]

Mine is A-
My mother is an O-
My father... dunno

[Volition]

Father was O, mother was AB+ I think...so could I end up O?! I didn't think that was possible... but who knows.

O is recessive, so you shouldn't be O. You're either A or B.

I personally don't know my blood group. I should find out...it being fairly important and all....:stunned:

[yondyr]

O + 37% O- 6%
A+ 34% A- 6%
B+ 10% B- 2%
AB+ 4% AB- 1%

I'm B+. The distribution above is from a US site.

[EastCoast]

i hate to be anal about this, but you would have to take into account what percentage of the INTJ forum voted. Then you would have to note what the percentage is of INTJs in the general population. You would also have to compare that percentage to the number of INTJs that are members of this forum. Then you would have to see what the spread of blood types is throughout the general population.

[yondyr]

lol be anal, that's what we're examining, well, our personalities. I'm glad to see so many sharing their views, our type tend not to.

[iMiki]

Type A

[wolf]

We have way too many people with AB, even if you took the last two and put them in O and A we shouldn't have anywhere near that high a percentage of AB. B is also too high in our sampling.

Maybe we're dramatically more likely to be found among people with B and AB blood types.

[narusmummy]

Just wondering if INTJ's tend toward a specific blood type.

(hehe) I doubt any INTJs tend toward a blood type; that would suggest we choose/ prefer a specific blood type. Also, seeing as there is no link between blood type and personality, you might not reach your desired conclusion.

However!! Will be interesting to see how blood type (particularly the less common blood types) exist on the board, in general....just for funzies!

:thumbsup:

Also known as the Barnum (or Forer) Effect. All horoscopes use Barnum statements so readers are satisfied with the results.

[narutofanninja]

Personality does not pertain to a blood type, atleast not as far as know. It isn't in genes or anything.

[Antares]

b for beauty, brains and badass attitude :P

O for Omnipotent, omniscient and over-achieving :p

[ghyspran]

Maybe we're dramatically more likely to be found among people with B and AB blood types.

Or maybe people with AB are more likely to know so, as the type is rarer. A doctor may be more likely to tell the person without their asking if it were AB because it is more special and interesting. Therefore, those of us who do not know more likely have a more common blood type but don't vote because we don't know our type.

No idea what blood type, dreadful around needles.

Some times goood, sometimes not. It's the type need it the most by the blood banks, so I'm always called when I'm due every 56 days...

How do you find out your blood type? I've never seen a test for it. People talk about it, but I've never heard mine.

Although I'm a protocol droid, so I shouldn't have blood... just circuitry and etiquette/protocol programming.

[Dagmar]

AB+

[disgruntledboy]

you can go donate blood and they will tell you your type (blood, not MBTI), as well as give you the opportunity to help save someone's life. You'll never know if you do, so you can just assume. Takes about an hour. By the time you get screened for mad cow disease and the various doses, you'll find the needle jab a relief.

Sorry there's no selection for your processor architecture in this poll.

Relief is the last thing I'll have when I a nurse pulls out a needle.

So since my family doctor's clinic has already stabbed me many times I should just ask them.

[Victoria Silver]

Good old everyday O+ here.

I would be extremely skeptical about blood type any corrolation with personality at all. I do wonder, however, if INTJs might be more likely to know their blood types than the general population.

[Motor Jax]

sometimes A+/-


sometimes B+/-


sometimes AB+/-


sometimes B- x D+ = CG-/2




depending on my mood on any particular day

[Nausved]

My blood is O-, so I can give blood to anybody, but only other O-'s can give blood to me. :(

[Moriarty]

Type A+ here.

Blood type is a genetic function, right? (I'm not sure about that.)

It's already been established that people with INTJ tendencies have more blood flow in certain parts of their brains than others. I don't think the blood type would really be relevant, but Id like to know more about it.

[eternaltriangle]

As one can imagine, I was quite distressed to get an A-. In spite of my reasonable arguments, it was not raised to an A+.

[Snowdragon]

Pavman, you're either A or B.

[mental drift]

I'm A+, and yes it does reflect in my grades.

[ElstonGunn]

How do you find out your blood type? I've never seen a test for it. People talk about it, but I've never heard mine.

I found out mine when I donated blood. I also was recently told that I have ridiculously high iron levels in my blood. Like, high enough that you could redo the plumbing in your house with my blood. So I guess, on that note, you could say that I am Iron Man. (Daa da da da da, dada dada dada da da da daa!)

[Isolation]

I was just wondering this.

I am INTJ and have AB- blood type.

[TheEnlightenedOne]

AB+ here.

[Genuine]

B+

Goal oriented and strong minded, type B's will start a task and continue it until completed, and completed well. Type B's are the individualists of the blood group categories and find their own way in life.



interesting...

[ssrprotege]

B+ for me, and I wonder who voted for robots who have no blood!

[Mariko]

o negative the universal donor

[blckprljinju]

A+ in everything I do. ha ha... ^^;;
at least there are enough people to give me blood if i ever get in trouble, unlike O- people who can only get blood from O- people...
AB+ got it the best... they can get blood from every single type.

[Dave C C]

Me - O+
Wife - AB- also an INTJ and much too understanding of my twisted thoughts, she scares me.

I'm O-

It's either the type or the two types together, but we do seem to be rather twisted. ;)

Where is the option for "I'm pretty sure I have blood but I don't have a clue what type it is."?

[Dzepxich]

AB- actually

[vanidence]

A- with all Sort of weird Mystic Genes xD

[Nikita]

I have no idea what my blood type is.

[True Rune]

O- I think.

[Vagrant]

A Positive.

Anybody with AB Negative is super rare.

[dogwoodlover]

O-

I can give blood to anyone.

[Vagrant]

O-

I can give blood to anyone.

Anybody with Rh negative, anyway. Rh positive rejects negative for whatever reason.

[nic]

O- here as well. Apparently CMV- so it can be used on babies and what not...I don't know. I give cause it's an easy way to contribute.

Tie in with the "Best thinking" thread - I also donate plasma becuase I get to sit and think for 2+ hours...about the only time I get to myself. Doing the world a favor alright...:)

[thealchemist]

Oh minus.

[csbear]

AB+ : parasitic relationships

[Solaris]

Not a clue. I have been in the process of getting tattooed for a few years now, so I can't give anyway.

[dragonsscout]

O-

I find it interesting that O, the recessive trait, is the most common for humans.

[dogwoodlover]

Anybody with Rh negative, anyway. Rh positive rejects negative for whatever reason.

O- is a "universal" blood type and can give blood to all other types. I just happened to be volunteering for community service at the Red Cross and I asked the head nurse about O- blood types to see if she would verified what I initially thought. She did.
