The results of this study demonstrate that extrovert students' speaking achievement is in the "good" category, with a mean of 79.34, while introvert students' speaking achievement is also in the "good" category, with a mean of 77.50. Extroverts have higher English speaking scores at Senior High School 1 Pejagoan of the tenth grade. The result of hypothesis testing showed that the z-value (2526) computation result is higher than the ztable (1.96).
