 when might you need to give blood(血) for a personality test? the answer is that you need to do so when you ask for a job.
 some people believe that your blood group hides(隱藏) no secrets. it shows the “real you”. and the owners of certain blood groups might be particularly good or bad at certain tasks(任務). this is the very reasons of why you could be asked to offer your blood group before being given a job.
 the new idea was carried out first in japan and now it has been brought over to other parts of the world. one important business company in japan is quite special about this need:“for our office members, we must have 30 percent of group a and 15 percent of ab, 25 percent of o and 30 percent of b”.
 do you happen to know your own blood group? it seems that if you belong to blood group o, you can get things done and sell the goods well. blood group a are the thinkers, while blood group b are highly creative. and if you have problems, ask the abs to solve them. so if you visited the japanese company, you would find the o types out selling goods and a types keeping order in the office.
