Korean Blood Type Personality Traits
“What’s your blood type?” Much like asking for a person’s horoscope here in America, in Korea, you might be asked for your blood type instead. Both of these questions are a fun way to get a general idea of a person’s personality. In Korean culture, each blood type is associated with specific personality traits and should be taken with a grain of salt.
Blood Type: A
Conservative, timid, and often more introverted than other blood types, people with type A blood are often sensitive and find difficulty expressing emotions or trusting others. They may also take things personally and easily feel hurt. However, they can also be considerate to others, patient and are often punctual.
Type As are also perfectionists who make sure to finish each task meticulously and putting the extra time to make sure it’s done right. They are hardworking, trustworthy, and responsible which people tend to value and trust. However, being a perfectionist, they may also get caught up in small details and unnecessary things. You can say that they may be prone to having a bit of OCD.
