What Your Blood Type Says About You and Your Career Choice

The Japanese believe that certain blood types have distinct personality traits-and are best suited for certain types of jobs. As a result, many Japanese jobseekers are required to undergo blood-type analysis to determine where they’ll best “fit” in a company. According to You are Your Blood Type (Pocket Books) by Toshitaka Nomi and Alexander Besher, here’s what your blood type says about you.

	The most common blood type. O’s enjoy power-and aren’t shy about attempting to seize it. Very competitive, they are the pit bulls of the business world, making excellent, if not sometimes dogmatic, bosses…better at making money than friends. Best Type O Jobs: Accountant, Politician Business/Sales, Therapist, and Minister Type Os of Note: Ronald Reagan and Queen Elizabeth.
	Persistent, reliable and methodical type. As are order-oriented and don’t like surprises. They are best suited for “detail” jobs, but not those requiring creative thinking. Good team players, but poor management material. Best Type A Jobs: Accountant, Librarian, Attorney, Economist, Writer/Novelist Type As of Note: Jimmy Carter and Alan Alda.
	These unconventional free spirits are highly creative, honest and hard-working employees – but their inability to delegate and their lack of shyness in “calling ‘em as they see ‘em” prohibits them from climbing to the top in any traditional corporate settings. What they lack in diplomacy, they more than make up for in ideas, energy, and the ability to get things done. Best Type B Jobs: Detective, Journalist, Artist, Crafts person, Psychiatrist Type Bs of Note: Tom Selleck, Mia Farrow, and Jack Nicholson.
	The rarest of blood types, AB’s are the most spiritual of the blood types – and include many fortunetellers, clairvoyants, and faith healers. In more traditionaljobs, their coolness of character and rational thinking makes them good strategic planners, diplomats, and attorneys. Very organized but not particularly innovative or creative, they make good department managers, bureaucrats, and negotiators. Best Type AB Jobs: Public Relations, Company Manager, Negotiator, Teacher, Attorney Type ABs of Note: John F. Kennedy
