Figure 4.1 The Histogram Data of Reading Achievement Test Score
From the figure 4.1 above, the total number of students were 39 students. There were 1 student got score 28, 2 students got score 32, 1 student
36, 1 student got score 40, 2 students got score 44, 6 students got score 48, 5 students got 52, 5 students got score 56, 7 students got score 60, 5 students
got score 64, 2 students got score 68, 1 student got score 72, and the last 1 student got score 76.
Furthermore, the statistical score of the reading achievement scores were counted using Frequencies of Descriptive Statistics in SPSS statistics
program version 22.0 to know mean, mode, median, and standard deviation score of the reading achievement test scores. It can be describe as follows:
Table 4.2 The Statistical Score of the Reading Achievement Test

Mean 54.05
Median 56.00
Mode 60
Std. Deviation 10.969
Variance 120.313

Maximum 76
Sum 2108
From the descriptive statistic above, the respondents of this study were 39 students. The mean of the reading achievement test score was 54.05 which
means that the average score obtained by the students. The median or the mddle score of reading acvhievement test was 56.00. then, the mode score or
the score that appears the most was 60. It means that most of students obtained 60 in the reading test. In addition, the highest score of the reading
achievement test score was 76, whereas, the lowest score was 28. Therefore, the range score between the highest and the lowest score was 48. The last, the
standard deviation of the reading test was 10.969 with variance 120.313. In Department of English Education, the score are characterized as
follows:

80 – 100
= A 70
– 79 = B
60 – 69
= C

50 – 59
= D 00
– 50 = E
An “A” is characterized as an excellent score. It is the highest score and the students who obtained it, passed the test excellently. Then, “B” is
chracterized as a good score. Next, “C” is characterized as a medium score, or
the test takers passed the test but it is recommended to retake the test or have remedial test. Then, “D” and “E” score is characterized as a bad score or the
test takers failed to pass the test. Based on the data description above, it revealed that most of students obtained score 60, in which score 60 is
characterized as C, a medium score, the test takers passedd the test but it is recommended to retake the test o have remedial test. From the data, it can be
concluded, that the students in medium position of reading achievement.
b. Verbal – Linguistic Intelligence Questionnaire Score
The Verbal – Linguistic Intelligence score was taken from the the
Verbal – Linguistic Intelligence questionnaire distributed by the writer. The
Verbal – Linguistic Intelligence score divided into seven catagories; very
superior, superior, high average, average, low average, borderline, and extremely low level in Verbal
– Linguistic Intelligence. The following table consisted of scoring range level of Intelligence test, and interpretation of
Vebal – Linguistic Intelligence level.

To provide an additional vivid description of the data distribution of verbal
– linguistic intelligence score, the histogram of frequency distribution was presented in figure 4.2 as follows:
Figure 4.2 The Histogram Data of Verbal
– Linguistic Intelligence Score
From the figure 4.2 above, there were 39 students as participants of this study. There were 1 student got score 70, 1 student got score 73, 1 student got
score 75, 1 student got score 76, 2 students got score 79, 2 students got score 80, 2 students got score 81, 2 students got score 82, 1 student got score 83, 3
students got score 84, 1 student got score 85, 1 student got score 86, 1 student got score 87, 1 student got score 88, 1 student got score 89, 3 students got
score 90, 1 student got score 91, 2 students got score 92, 3 students got score 93, 2 students got score 94, 1 student got score 96, 2 students got score 99, 1
student got score 100, 1 student got score 101, 1 student got score 104, and the last, 1 student got score 108.
In addition, there were 18 students in average level. There were 15 students in low
– average level, and 6 students in borderline level. Apparently, from the symmetrical bell-shaped curve, it showed that the data
of verbal – linguistic intelligence score was normally distributed.
