MEXTESOL Journal, v46 n3 2022
This study investigated the relationship between four different types of personality, namely extroversion versus introversion, sensing versus intuition, thinking versus feeling, judging versus perceiving and writing anxiety. To collect the data, 325 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students were randomly selected from several universities to answer the questionnaires. The results revealed that extroversion, intuition, feeling, and judging types had a significant negative correlation with writing anxiety. Furthermore, introversion, sensing, and thinking personality types had a significant positive correlation with writing anxiety. Among all personality types, only the perceiving type did not have a significant correlation with writing anxiety. Moreover, the results of the study showed that the extroversion versus introversion category could predict writing anxiety.
