ABSTRACT

The purpose of the study was to compare and investigate  the intelligence of male and female sports persons of A, B, AB and O blood groups. Two hundred and eighty six sports persons were selected from Eleventh grade students of English Medium Schools recognized by C.B.S.E., New Delhi situated in Bilaspur (Chhattisgarh) ranging between 16 to 18 years of age. In the present study, Group Test of General Mental ability (Rev.) by Dr. S. Jalota (1972) was used to measure  the intelligence of the subjects. This test was selected  for use because of its reported characteristic, popularity and suitability. To investigate the intelligence of male and female  sportsperson of different blood groups, means,  standard deviations and t-ratio were computed. The results of the study revealed that Female sportspersons of A+ blood group  were found to have greater amount of intelligence than their counter parts Male sportspersons of B+, AB+ and O+ blood group  were found to have greater amount of intelligence than females. Male and female sportspersons of A+, B+ and AB+ blood groups did not differ significantly  in their intelligence.
