Abstract

Reading is viewed as one of the most important skill that is required by an individual for language learning and acquisition. In the practice, introversionextroversion personality as one of psychological factor played an important role in influencing students’ reading skill. This research is aimed at investigating the correlation between students’ personality type and students reading comprehension in the second semester students of IAIN Kediri. This research employs correlational research design. There are two kinds of instrument used for data collection. The first is a questionnaire adopted from Carter (2005) for collecting students’ personality type data (introversionextroversion). The second is a TOEFL Reading Test adopted from Longman used for gathering the data of reading comprehension. There are 55 students of the second semester of IAIN Kediri as the sample. To investigate the correlation, Kendall tau-b correlational statistic is employed because the distribution of the data is not normal. The finding of this research revealed that there is significant correlation between students’ personality type and students’ reading achievement. The obtained significant value (p) was lower than significant level (p=.000 < .05). Then according to the significant correlation index, the correlation level between students’ personality type and students’ reading comprehension is moderate (r= - .563). Because of that negative attribute, it means that personality has opposite direction. When the students are getting low result of reading test, they tend to be extrovert. So, it means that the higher students’ personality is or the more introvert students is, the lower reading achievement is.
