Abstract

This study is aimed at finding the correlation between personality types and listening achievement and which type of personalities is the best predictor of listening achievement. The population of this study was 179 eleventh grade students of MA Patra Mandiri Plaju. 70 students were taken as the sample by using convenience sampling. The data were collected through Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) and TOEFL Junior Standard Test Listening Comprehension Section. The data were analyzed by using Pearson product moment correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis. The result showed that the r-obtained (.033) was lower than r-table (.235) and the p value (.784) was higher than .05. It signified that there was no significant correlation between personality types as a whole (extravert and introvert) and listening achievement. Furthermore, there was also no correlation between each type of personality (extravert/introvert) and listening achievement. Because of those results, there was no need to conduct the regression test which the aim was to find out which personality types becoming the best predictor over the listening achievement. The results also revealed that the level of listening achievement of participants was average and the extravert personality was the most frequent type of personality. It is suggested for further research to examine the research with larger samples in order to gain results which are more conclusive.
