Kamise and Matsui (1994)

Kamise and Matsui (1994) said “there exist core characteristics of each blood type, and the entire contents are formed around them.” The following is a concrete example given by Yamazaki and Sakamoto (1991), and Matsui (1991).

Yamazaki and Sakamoto (1991), and Matsui (1991)

Only a few ”famous traits” were real; the percentages of participants who imagined type A traits and the actual answers did not seem to match (Chart 1 and Table 1).
Percentages who said the image of a trait was type A (Yamazaki and Sakamoto, 1991).
Actual differences from type A people from the averages of other blood types (Matsui, 1991).
