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 don't have blood, i'm kept alive y the concoction of mushed-up biscuits, anti-freeze, alchohol and pig urine.....

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.

I'm a rarity, AB+

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 yes.gif thumbsup.gif
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....
