Blood types and personality. Is there a link between them?

There's a total of 4 main blood types in the world. Each has two divisions to it.
Apparently, there is a theory that links our personality to our blood type.
Having a certain blood type indicates that you are a certain type of personality type, and vice versa, this theory claims.
Here are the different blood types, with the characteristic of that blood type listed against it.
A (+) : Good Leadership, authoritative, patient, kind, understanding.
A (-) : Hardworking, industrious, but often highly strung, impatient.
----------------------
B (+) : Self sacricing, empathetic, thinks of others.
B (-) : Inflexible, selfish & self-centred, me-centred, egotistical.
----------------------
O (+) : Altruistic, helps others, volunteer, loving, supportive type.
O (-) : Narrow-minded, tunnel-visioned, petty-minded.
----------------------
AB (+) : Slow to understand, plodder, lethargic, procrastinator.
AB (-) : Sharp, smart, Intelligent, witty, quick-sighted, insightful.
This sounds a bit like those other divinitive arts, such as numerology, astrology, palm reading, etc etc.
I wonder if there is any truth in these ideas about blood types?
Everybody is linked into karma, and karma shows up in your body in many ways, from physical shape and size, to blood grouping, mental capacity, and even digestive quality, or associative tendencies towards taking on ailments, and certain types of disease, or degenerative conditions, such as type A personalities, who are often described as being rigidly obstinate, anxious, and worrier types.
Anything that alters your vehicle (of your soul) is partly done, or indicated in these factors, carried by your body, which can be read by someone in the know.
When you think of love, all personality types can love, but the personality that loves the most is usually the generous one that is prepared to give love out more than which they take it in.
This is a person who is generous in all aspects of life, living it to the full, an a + personality then, can be like this, but more often it is an 0 + type, who is this way inclined.
Do you give any credence to these ideas, or not?

Has our blood type got anything to do with our personality type?

I belong to O+ type of blood and I do agree its indication. That's true

Notice though that positive blood types are typed as more positive people with good traits, whereas negative blood types are more negative descriptions. I wonder what the percentage of people are for each blood type.
In general, the rarest blood type is AB-negative and the most common is O-positive.
Different races have different predominances in certain blood types too, so I doubt if personalities are really linked meaningfully much at all.

I do not even know what type I am either. I just thought that this was an interesting correlation or match-up to talk about here.

A lot of these types of theories come and go.
My Dad used to tell me one about the shape of a person's head, for example. A high head meant you were religious, a large sloping forward that you were intelligent, stuff like that. (Phrenology, this was called)
I guess various people have noticed some correlations from time to time, and so drawn various inferences and connections from these observations.

@innertalks My brother and I are the only two in the family with that specific blood type. There are so many combinations that it's hard to get the same as your grandparents and parents.

@innertalks I know, my mother had 4 siblings, they all had different blood type and only one the same of his mother.

Theory's of anything usually start from observation, and then observations are linked in some way, by our making a conclusion from them, and the data observed.
Where we can go wrong, is to jump from one observation, to a fully blown theory, and then stubbornly stick to it, despite the arising of new data, and facts that might go against the initial observation.
Somebody, at some time, must have noticed what they thought was a correlation here between personality and blood grouping types.
Now, what we do know is that blood type tends to be a hereditary thing, the rest is mere speculation, and might or might not be true.
But of such observations, facts can be discovered, if we stay open to seeing new connections, and not stick rigidly only to our initial ones, that just might have been the wrong deductions from the facts, that were not all in yet.

I am A+ but do I what fall into Good Leadership, authoritative, patient, kind, understanding?
I can say I am patient, kind, and understanding but not authoritative. Regarding leadership, I set an example but not much beyond that.
My wife is O+ and I think she fits the bill of description - siva

You might have more leadership material in you that what you think.
Most people see leaders as the types of leaders that we have around today, egotistical, chest beaters, but the best leaders are not like this at all, when something is done by that leader, his team thinks they have done it themselves, he/she steps out of the limelight himself, or herself.
This comes from Lao Tzu, that great Chinese philosopher.
Lao Tzu Quote
"When the best leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves.'"

@Shiva49 Yes, I like that dictum too, and yet, that sort of good leader, would be missed for the right reasons, when they are away, not the reason that people would be glad when he's away, to get away from his despotism.

@innertalks Agreed Steve, I follow a dictum "A good leader is one whose presence is felt but not his/her absence". I think that has given me some comfort - siva

Most people do have a blood type, or a predominating personality type that they live from.
Even just the basic split between being more positive, than negative, and extrovert, rather than an introvert, a people person, or a loner, all these point towards certain tendencies, patterns of behaviour types, or predominating personality preferences too, in a person.
Some people they say, are thinkers, others are more emotionally structured, some need to see something, to understand, others, to feel something, still other types, need things explained to them verbally, or to hear it.
These are all preferred methods of operating themselves that a person can adopt, or adapt for themselves, from time to time, in their lives.

I would agree with you there. Probably, somebody made some observations at some stage, and then jumped to seeing more, a link, a theory, by generalising, was created.
It could mean nothing at all, or there might be something in it, because as I said below, blood types are passed on genetically, so some part of our personality makeup probably is passed on genetically too, our disposition to react in the ways our father reacted, for example, unless we consciously are aware, and change our reaction, we will be patterned like our father, or mother was..

Yeh, l don't either really, but they do say that an angry person is hot blooded, and that love is the lifeblood of our life, so these sayings hint at some possible link, maybe.

@innertalks May be our blood group varies as per our feelings...at that point of time. I mean, I can be petty too. So I may be shifting from +ve to -ve and back to +ve...can happen .. some ingredient in the blood may be in excess or short...right? Who knows what science will discover going forward.

Many Asians tend to be O+, and it is the most common blood type.

Here is a link to the preponderances of different blood types.
The rarest blood type among people in the U.S. is type AB-negative.
