The ABO test classifies people's blood into one of four types: A, B, AB, or O. If your red blood cells have:
* The A antigen, you have type A blood. The liquid portion of your blood (plasma) contains antibodies against type B blood. In the United States, about 40% of the white population, 27% of African-Americans, 28% of Asians, and 16% of Native Americans are type A.
* The B antigen, you have type B blood. Your plasma contains antibodies against type A blood. In the United States, about 11% of the white population, 20% of African-Americans, 27% of Asians, and 4% of Native Americans are type B.
* Neither the A nor B antigen, you have type O blood. Your plasma contains antibodies against both type A and type B blood. In the United States, about 45% of the white population, 49% of African-Americans, 40% of Asians, and 79% of Native Americans are type O.
* Both the A and B antigens, you have type AB blood. Your plasma does not contain antibodies against either type A or type B blood. In the United States, about 4% of the white population, 4% of African-Americans, 5% of Asians, and less than 1% of Native Americans are type AB.
Many people seem to think that genetics dominate how our minds work. I thought it would be interesting to put this theory to the test on UM, and see how many of us in the same close genetic families have similiar perspectives.
I am a type A positive. I am a believer in alien life and spirits. -----------

I'm A positive...but my type isn't listed for me to vote.
Edit: Oh and I'm a skeptic...

Sorry I did not get us on. This was my first poll post.
I think I also should have had a part two poll of some kind for believers and skeptics.
Oh well, I appreciate the response and will figure it up as best I can.
So far we balance each other out as non-biased.

Your bllod type does not determine what you believe in...Its a silly idea if you ask me...In no way, shape, or form are blood types and your beliefs related. Blood types are not even part of neurogenetics!

I agree with Frogfish, unless there's a whole aspect about blood which I'm missing out on, it isn't possible for the composition of the blood to change how we think, much less our opinions.

edited poll to add "Type A blood positive"
I am also AB+ and a universal receiver
edit to add- I think this is a pretty interesting theory. I am mostly a skeptic

Try donating blood sometime. The Blood bank always needs more

They'll give you a card with (among other things) your blood type.
I'm B positive, by the way. And I'm a firm believer in God and the Bible, though I don't really care to much about religious institutions. I'm neutral on alien life, probably there is somewhere, I guess....
