The present investigation is to explore the emotional intelligence of different blood groups (A+, AB+, B+, and O+). Sample of the study consisted of college students of different blood groups (50 A+, 50 B+, 50 AB+, 50 O+). Their age range between 17-25 years. Their education was above 12th standards. To assess emotional intelligence ‘Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS)’ by Anukool Hyde, Sanjyot Pethe, and Upinder Dhar was used. To test the hypothesis of the present investigation ANOVA was used. Finding of ANOVA reveals that there is significant difference among blood groups and emotional intelligence. Students who have B+ blood group scored higher on value orientation and who have AB+ blood group scored higher on empathy and emotional stability.
