CHAPTER IV FINDING AND DISCUSSION
A. Finding
Personality test and reading test are the test to collect the data of this study. The data personality test aimed to figure out the types of students‟
personality. Meanwhile, the reading test used to test the reading achievement from the extrovert and introvert student only. After the score of each test was obtained, Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to investigate the correlation between students‟ personality and English reading achievement. In this section, all the procedures in analysing the data are elaborated.
1. The Analysis of Students’ Personality and Reading Achievement Test a. The Analysis of Students’ Personality Test
Personality is the most prominent trait or characteristic of every human being. Personality is used to describe individual characteristics that set them apart from other people, a kind of psychological trait about how individuals are different from other people. Personality is a combination of attitudes, traits, mind-sets, emotions, awareness and unconsciousness, as well as values that influence individuals to do something right according to their environment.
In this research, students‟ personality is an independent variable that be called as variable X. To know it, the researcher gave the questionnaire that contains about 24 questions to 57 students as the sample. The total numbers of sample were 57 students, which 14
students were classified into introvert, 35 students were classified into extrovert, and 8 students were not include as a sample because their personality was ambivert. The ambivert students were not taken as sample because it was out of the scope of the research. Therefore, the total number of sample was 49 students. The descriptive statistical analysis of students‟ personality type is shown in table 4.1.

From the table above, it can be seen that score from 49 respondents, it showed that minimum score is 7, the maximum score is 23. The mean of the score for the participants is 14,80 and the standard deviation is 3,947. Then, it was revealed that from the questionnaire, extrovert was the most perceived type of personality. The details are as follow:

Introvert 14 28,6
Total 49 100,0
The results showed that there are 35 students (71,4%) who are indicated as extrovert personality. Then there are 14 students (28,6%) who are indicated as introvert personality. In conclusion, it was
revealed that from the questionnaire, extrovert was the most perceived type of personality.
b. The Analysis of Students’ Reading Achievement Test
Reading is a way to get meaning or knowledge from written texts. Achievement is the result of individual competence to find out more about the abilities they have. Reading achievement is the result of students' efforts to acquire and understand reading knowledge and skills through a systematic process, practice, and experience within a certain period of time which is usually measured by scores or grades on assignments and tests in English reading subjects.
In this research, students‟ reading achievement is a dependent variable that be called as variable Y. To know it, the researcher gave the reading test that contains about 25 questions to 49 students as the sample. The researcher presented the table of variable Y (reading achievement). In addition, the data is described on the table 4.3.
Table 4. 3
Descriptive Statistics Students’ Reading Achievement N Minimum Maximum Mean Std. Deviation Reading Score 49 36 96 64,53 13,765
Valid N (list wise) 49
The descriptive statistical analysis of students‟ reading achievement is shown in table 4.3 The maximum score is 96, and the lowest score is 36 the mean of the score for the participants is 64,53 and the standard deviation is 13,765. This mean score indicated that the level of reading achievement of participants is average.

Good 11 22,4 22,4 91,8
Very good 4 8,2 8,2 100,0
Total 49 100,0 100,0
For each category, 5 students (10,2%) had very poor reading achievement. 4 students(8,2%) had poor reading achievement, 25 students (51%) had average reading, 11 (22,4%) had good reading and 4 students (8,2%) had very good reading achievement. From the distribution above, it found that “average” was the most frequent level of students‟ reading achievement (51%).
2. Pre-requisite Analysis a. Normality Test
In measuring normality test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov is used. The normality test is used to measure students„ reading comprehension and academic achievement. It was found the p-output from students personality and reading achievement was 0.200. From the result of the p-output, it can be stated that the students„ personality and reading achievement were normal. Since, it was higher than 0.05. The result of analysis is shown in table below:

The normality test is used to determine whether the data is normally distributed or not. The regression model is considered normal if the data spreads around the diagonal line and follows the diagonal line.
From the picture above it appears that the data spreads around the diagonal line and follows the diagonal line, it can be concluded that the data is normally distributed.
b. Linearity Test
Linearity test was used to measure between student„s personality and reading achievement was linear or not. The result showed that the significance level of deviation from linearity score was 0.463 respectively that higher than 0.05. It meant that the data were linear.

The mean of the reading achievement test score was 64.57, which mean that the category of score is average. The median of reading achievement test was 66.00. Then, the mode score was 80. It means that the most of students obtained 80 in reading test. In addition, the highest score of the reading achievement test score acquired by introvert students was 80, and the lowest score was 36. Therefore, the
rage score between the highest and the lowest score was 44. The last, the standard deviation of the reading test was 13.665 with variance 186.725.

The result showed that the correlation between introvert personality and reading achievement was ,302. It means that there was no correlation because rxy < rtable (0,302 < 0,532).
c. The Correlation between Students’ Personality and Reading Achievement
Based on Pearson Product Moment Correlation, the result indicated that correlation between personality types and reading achievement was negative. The correlation coefficient or rxy (-.032) was lower than rtable (.288). Then the level of probability (p) significance (sig.2-tailed) was .827. It means that (p) .827 was higher than .50. It shows that there was no significant correlation between personality types and reading achievement.

In addition, there was no correlation between personality types as whole (extrovert and introvert) and reading achievement, each type of students‟ personality types were analyzed and correlated by using Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The result showed that there was also no correlation with coefficient -.121 for extrovert and .302 for introvert personality. The result indicated no significant correlation since p-output of extrovert .489 and introvert .295 was higher than 0.05.
4. Test of Hypothesis
Hypothesis testing is used to determine the effect of the independent variables on the dependent variable. The hypothesis in this study uses simple linear regression analysis:
a. (H0) null hypothesis : there is no correlation between students‟
personality and reading achievement.
b. (Ha) alternative hypothesis : there is a correlation between students‟ personality and reading achievement.
After obtaining the significance value of the coefficient correlation, the degree of freedom is measured as follow:
df = n – 2
df = 49 – 2 = 47 (“r” value consultation table) df = 47
According to the fixed value of r-table, the r-table with of degree of freedom = 47 with r (5%).
Table 4. 13 Distribution rtable Score N The Level of Significance
5% 1%
47 0,288 0,372
Based on the findings of this study, the calculation of the rxy is 0.050 and the df is 47. Then, the score rxy is compared with the degree of significance 5% which show that the df = 37, the rt score which is obtained 0.288, therefore, rxy < rtable.
In the other word, Pearson‟ correlation coefficient indicated that there was no significant correlation between students‟ personality type and reading achievement because rxy < rtable (0,050 < 0,288).
