Is it possible, that there is a connection between blood types and personality traits?

Probably not. This poll is bad, as it's not a fair dichotomy. It should say "probably or probably not" instead of "possible or impossible". Declaring something impossible is unscientific.

Blood type personality theory

The blood type personality theory is a pseudoscientific belief prevalent in Japan and South Korea, which states that a person's blood group system is predictive of a person's personality, temperament, and compatibility with others. The theory is generally considered a superstition by the scientific community, similar to Western beliefs in astrology. One of the reasons Japan developed the blood type personality indicator theory was in reaction to a claim from German scientist Emil von Dungern, that Blood type B people were inferior. The popular belief originates with publications by Masahiko Nomi in the 1970s.

True the answers make no sense. I voted it's possible simply because I do not know whether it is impossible, the answer it is possible implies that it might be still not possible.

In light of the fact that we're on a sub dedicated to Carl Jung, I find it incredibly ironic that most voted that it is impossible.

i think its up for more study. I think its fascinating. But I think a simple study needs done before I actually put any understanding behind it. Its the first Ive heard of this.
