Studi Komparatif Kepribadian Ekstrovert dan Introvert terhadap Pencapaian Berbicara
Keywords:
extrovert, introvert, speaking achievementAbstract
This study aims to examine whether there is a significant difference in speaking achievement between extrovert and introvert students. The research was conducted at SMA Negeri 5 Maros, involving 36 students of class XI IPA 1 selected through purposive sampling. This study employed a quantitative approach using a causal-comparative design. Data were collected using a personality questionnaire consisting of 22 items to classify students as extrovert or introvert, and an oral test to measure their speaking achievement. The collected data were analyzed using an independent sample t-test with the help of SPSS version 29. The results showed that the significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) was 0.015, which is lower than 0.05, indicating a statistically significant difference between the two groups. The findings revealed that extrovert students achieved higher speaking scores compared to introvert students. In conclusion, personality type has a significant influence on students’ speaking achievement, with extrovert students demonstrating better performance. These findings suggest that teachers should consider students’ personality differences when designing speaking activities to support more effective language learning.
