The "B" Blood Type: A Personality Trivia

On this nice, beautiful day, I would like to present you an informative post. This is very informative that you should not miss. Moreover, if you are someone who  have the blood type, B. Just like me. Hehe.

Please note that suppose you find this post is unnecessary to your importance, I am free from all of those complaints you may have. You are not encouraged to do so, as it would be useless; because, I would plainly ignore it. Haha. Absurd.

Anyway, below is the summary I compile from many related sources about the "B" blood type and the personality the type B person may possess. And. Since I am lazy and want to get this finished soon, I do not paraphrase it. I just purely copied and pasted these and combine them into this informative summary. Hehehe. 

I'm lazy, I know.

Title of the Summary: 

What You Should Know about a Type B Person.

Type B:

Blood Type B's often described themselves in ways related to the following characteristics: subjective, easygoing, creative, original and flexible. In another study, Type B's scored significantly higher on "intuiting," indicating a preference or sixth sense information; and they scored high on the "intuiting/feeling" combination, indicating that they tend to be insightful, mystical, idealistic, creative, globally-oriented, people-oriented and good at imagining. They also reported that they learned best through listening, then reflecting on and interpreting what they had observed. Perhaps the nomadic life of the steppes contributed to long hours given over to talk as well as ample time for meditation and reflection. Type B's can be very goal-oriented and often complete the ambitious tasks set before them. Outgoing and very charming, you’re good at reading people and providing support. Though critical of appearance (but not your own), you aren’t picky and are unlikely to dwell over the little things. 

Type Bs are impulsive individualists who often create their own path in life. You are very strong and optimistic. B is most compatible with B and AB lovers. Common career choices: cook, hairdresser, military leader, talk show host, and journalist. Blood type B individuals tend to be balanced: thoughtful like A's and yet ambitious like O's. They are empathetic, easily understanding others' points of view, yet often hesitating to challenge or confront. Chameleon-like and flexible, they make good friends. (openzine.com)

Type B:The Hunter

People with Type B Blood are curious everything. That may be good, but they also tend to have too many interests and hobbies. They tend to get excited about something suddenly only to drop it again just as quickly. They seem to manage to know which of their many interests or loved ones are truly the most important. B Types tend to excel in things rather than just be average, but they tend to be so involved in their own world that they neglect other things. They have independent spirits with strong personalities. 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. They also don’t really want to have much personal contact with others. While they don’t care what others think of them. They are extremely passionate about the things they hold dear. Type B’s are the individualists of the blood group categories and find their own way in life. Type B personalities can be curious, bright, cheerful, enthusiastic, independent, sensitive, and unpredictable. They can also be superficial, unreliable, selfish, unpredictable, indiscreet, lazy, and impatient. (thegreatgeekmanual.com)

B Is for Balance 

B Blood Type History 

Blood Type B developed in the area of the Himalayan highlands, now part of present day Pakistan and India. Pushed from the hot, lush savannahs of eastern Africa to the cold highlands of the Himalayan Mountains, Blood type B may have initially mutated in response to climactic changes. It first appeared in India or the Ural region of Asia among a mix of Caucasian and Mongolian tribes. This new blood type was soon characteristic of the great tribes of steppe dwellers, who by this time dominated the Eurasian Plains. As the Mongolians swept through Asia, the gene for Type B blood was firmly entrenched. The Mongolians swept northward, pursuing a culture dependent upon herding and domesticating animals - as their diet of meat and cultured dairy products reflected.

Of all the ABO types, Type B shows the most clearly defined geographic distribution. Stretching as a great belt across the Eurasian plains and down to the Indian subcontinent, Type B is found in increased numbers from Japan, Mongolia, China and India up to the Ural Mountains. From there westward, the percentages fall until a low is reached at the western tip of Europe. The small numbers of Type B in Western Europeans represents western migration by Asian nomadic peoples. This is best seen in the easternmost western Europeans, the Germans and Austrians, who have an unexpectedly high incidence of Type B blood compared to their western neighbors. Modern sub continental Indians a Caucasian people, have some of the highest frequencies of Type B blood in the world. The northern Chinese and Koreans have very high rates of Type B blood and very low rates of Type A.


What Makes Type B Unique


As a Type B, you carry the genetic potential for great malleability and the ability to thrive in changeable conditions. Unlike blood types A and O, which are at opposite ends of every spectrum, your position is fluid, rather than stationary, with the ability to move in either direction along the continuum. It's easy to see how this flexibility served the interests of early Type B's who needed to balance the twin forces of the animal and vegetable kingdoms. At the same time, it can be extremely challenging to balance two poles and Type B's tend to be highly sensitive to the effects of slipping out of balance.


The primary challenges that can get in the way of optimum health for Type B include a tendency to produce higher than normal cortisol levels in situations to stress; sensitivity to the B specific lectins in select foods, resulting in inflammation and greater risk for developing Syndrome X; susceptibility to slow growing, lingering viruses - such as those for MS, CFS, and lupus; and a vulnerability to autoimmune diseases. "If I were to generalize," says Dr. D'Adamo, "I would say that a healthy Type B, living right for his or her own type, tends to have fewer risk factors for disease and tends to be more physically fit and mentally balanced than any of the other blood types." Type B's tended to have a greater ability to adapt to altitude and interestingly, are statistically the tallest of the blood types.


Type B Diet


For Type Bs the biggest factors in weight gain are corn, wheat, buckwheat, lentils, tomatoes, peanuts and sesame seeds. Each of these foods affect the efficiency of your metabolic process, resulting in fatigue, fluid retention, and hypoglycemia - a severe drop in blood sugar after eating a meal. When you eliminate these foods and begin eating a diet that is right for your type, you blood sugar levels should remain normal after meals. Another very common food that Type Bs should avoid is chicken. Chicken contains a Blood Type B agglutinating lectin in its muscle tissue. Although chicken is a lean meat, the issue is the power of an agglutinating lectin attacking your bloodstream and the potential for it to lead to strokes and immune disorders. Dr. D'Adamo suggests that you wean yourself away from chicken and replace them with highly beneficial foods such as goat, lamb, mutton, rabbit and venison. Other foods that encourage weight loss are green vegetables, eggs, beneficial meats, and low fat dairy. When the toxic foods are avoided and replaced with beneficial foods, Blood Type Bs are very successful in controlling their weight.


Handling Stress


When it comes to hormones, type B is closer to type A, producing somewhat higher levels of cortisol. When a Type B is out of balance, this manifests in overreaction to stress, difficulty in recovering from stress, disrupted sleep patterns, daytime brain fog, disruptive to GI friendly bacteria and suppresses immune function. This leads to increased risks for depression, insulin resistance, hypothyroidism and high stress can further exacerbate virtually all health challenges.


The Nitric Oxide (NO) molecule also has implications for Blood Type B's stress response and ability to recover quickly from stress. NO has emerged as an important substance capable of modifying many biological processes - including the nervous system and the immune system. Nitric Oxide functions as a kind of mediator of certain types of neurons in the central nervous system. Unlike the other neuro-transmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin, NO does not bind to specific sites on the cell, but rather is infused into the cell and works directly at the biochemical level, making it a "rapid response" neurotransmitter. NO also seems to be involved in the regulation of the endorphins produced in the brain. The ability to rapidly clear NO can be highly beneficial to the cardiovascular system, but it also has implications for the activity of neurotransmitters, enabling faster recovery of stress. Scientists found that patients who possessed the Type B antigen appeared to clear NO more rapidly than do people of other blood types - the scientists had no clue as to why this might be, however, one of the possible answers lies right next to the ABO gene as the gene that influences the ability to modulate Arginine conversion to NO is right next to the gene that codes for blood type. Remember the gene linkage that was discussed earlier? Does this sound familiar? Dr. D'Adamo has observed that type B's have a wonderful gift to be able to gain physiological relief from stress and maintain emotional balance through the utilization of mental processes such as visualization and meditation.


Exercise


To maintain the mind/body balance that is unique to Type B's, Dr. D'Adamo recommends that you choose physical exercise that challenges your mind as well as your body. Type Bs need to balance meditative activities with more intense physical exercise. "You tend to do best with activities that are not too aerobically intense, have an element of mental challenge and involve other people." Says Dr. D'Adamo. Excellent forms of exercise for Type B's include tennis, martial arts, cycling, hiking and golf.


The Personality Connection


The connection between blood type and personality has long been studied. In an independent study, Dr. D'Adamo found that most Blood Type B's often described themselves in ways related to the following characteristics: subjective, easygoing, creative, original and flexible. In another study, Type B's scored significantly higher on "intuiting," indicating a preference or sixth sense information; and they scored high on the "intuiting/feeling" combination, indicating that they tend to be insightful, mystical, idealistic, creative, globally-oriented, people-oriented and good at imagining. They also reported that they learned best through listening, then reflecting on and interpreting what they had observed. Perhaps the nomadic life of the steppes contributed to long hours given over to talk as well as ample time for meditation and reflection.


Live Right! Here are Dr. D'Adamo's key lifestyle strategies for Type Bs:

• Visualization is a powerful technique for Type Bs. If you can visualize it, you can achieve it
• Find healthy ways to express your nonconformist side
• Spend at least twenty minutes a day involved in some creative task that requires your complete attention
• Go to bed no later than 11:00PM and sleep for eight hours or more. It is essential for B's to maintain their circadian rhythm
• Use meditation to relax during breaks
• Engage in a community, neighborhood or other group activity that gives you a meaningful connection to a group. Type Bs are natural born networkers
• Be spontaneous
• As they age, Type Bs have a tendency to suffer memory loss and have decreased mental acuity. Stay sharp by doing tasks that require concentration, such as crossword puzzles or learn a new skill or language

My summary from Mr. Masahiko NOMI's book "Ketsueki-gata Josei Hakusho" (Blood Type Woman White Paper). 

There are both frank and unsociable Type Bs. Type Bs are retiring preferably like the latter, or acquires attitude without greetings like the former -- for Type Bs, it is hard to acquire the manners and greetings that suits to surroundings and the society. One easily understands both Type Bs are familiar and do not discriminate, believe people, before long. The opening nature is the common feature of Type B. 

Type B's primary fundamental personality is less concerned with the society and surroundings in contrast with Type A. Not-concerned-with-surroundings personality cause Type B's my pace actions. S/he dislikes to be complied with minor rules, restrained and constrained extremely. Strong interest means full of enjoying heart. A Type-B person does not considers profit and loss like Type O or it does not calculate worldly value like Type A. As interest is directed to the external world, thought becomes scientific and practical with respecting facts. A Type- B person is not influenced by common sense or customs, so s/he has wide and flexible comprehension power. 

Type B is not able to be stable. Even if it is seen as stable, whether or not it is moving a body continually, it uses its brain continuously. Type B's emotion changes sensitively. It is able to comprehend other people's situation and have interest without subjectivity. So it is compassionate and sometimes it takes action instantly. However, Type B's emotion is not strong. It only seems so, because it expresses and doesn't restrain when a feeling breaks out. Although it sometimes clings to the thought of oneself terribly stubbornly. In this case, Type B shows stubbornness. 
 
Actually, there are not much Type Bs around me, so I haven't confirmed all the above description. But  I feel a little bit easy when I am with Type B (I am Type AB). I need not to care when I am with Type B, while I need to be cautious, to some degree, when I am with Type O and Type A, although it depends on people.

Blood Type B

Classic B’s are the most practical of all blood groups. They’re determined, hardworking and individualistic, but may choose the less beaten track, and defy convention. Laid back and casual, those with blood type B may also be curious and straightforward, enthusiastic, but independent. These are the people who are likely to see something they’ve set their minds on to the very end, no matter how unachievable the goal. At the same time, Blood Type B also signifies a transience in nature, moodiness and sometimes insensitivity. (buzzle.com)

TYPE B

Basic personality: individualist, strong, creative, active, unpredictable, disorganised, sociable, persuasive, cheerful, easy going, adventurous, egocentric, forgetful, flexible, curious, and enthusiastic.

Your strengths: you have an engaging, charming manner. Bright, cheerful and fun to be around, you’re an original thinker and highly individual. You don’t like rules, but when you want to achieve a goal you’re passionate, hard working and totally driven. Your curious nature means you love to try things and your flexibility means you find it easy to adapt to new situations.

Your weaknesses: you like to do things in your own time and don’t like being told what to do. This means that you may clash with bosses, partners and family. You can also be very disorganised and untidy.

Your ideal job: You excel at coming up with ideas and innovations, so possible careers include: advertising executive, public relations, designer, artist, photographer, advocate, journalist, cook, hairdresser, alternative health practitioner, landscape gardener, vet, running your own business or entertainer.

How you love: you are very independent and your desire for freedom isn’t always easy for partners to understand. Type B’s are the classic bad boys and girls, with a reputation for being exciting, wild, selfish and unreliable. Your best match is another B type or an AB, who’s outgoing but also sensitive and mysterious – personality traits that will intrigue you.

Potential problems: when you’re out of balance you have a tendency to get lethargic and depressed. You become more unreliable, messy and disorganised than usual. You also become more susceptible to infections (colds, flu, stomach bugs etc.).

Exercise and wellbeing: the best exercise routines for you are sociable, not too aerobically intense and involve some form of mental challenge like martial arts, t’ai chi, walking, tennis, cycling, golf or climbing. Have a routine, because an element of structure in your life can help you deal with stress.
