Many other factors also influence our personality in the same way as motivation. Maybe blood type should be used for more than just matching organ donors, the same way may be blood type could also be good for watching the motivation process, theories & behaviours of people. Thus, the purpose of the study is to identify the effect of blood type on motivation process, theories & behaviours.

But, some of the studies in Japan, Korea, Asia, etc. have proved that blood groups do have an effect on the motivation process, theories & behaviours as these countries do believe in the theories of personality and other motivational aspects. Hence, this study helps in concluding that, individuals tend to change their personality, and motivation factors to be connected with the blood type rather than in self-fulfilling prophecy, wherein, this has led to the emergence of following astrological signs like individuals in Japan.
