Students' Personality Type: Does it Affect Relational Reasoning in Solving Mathematics Problems?

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the differences in relational reasoning between extroverted and introverted personality types using the statistical Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) method in the Independent Sample Test. This study tested the hypothesis that the variables measured showed significant differences between the two personality types, with the sample selected based on indicators of relational reasoning. The results showed that the value of “Equal Variance Assumed” was 0.97, higher than 0.05, and had a significance value (sig) of 0.426, exceeding the threshold of 0.05. The findings showed no statistically significant differences between extroverted and introverted students, suggesting an assumed similarity in variance between the two groups.
