CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS
This research finding chapter consists of the data description, the data analysis, the data interpretation.
A. The Data Description
The following two tables are the students who have been categorized to the sanguine and the phlegmatic personality. They are the students who
become the research object and the following are their English speaking scores see Appendix 6 which was obtained from their performance.

The 24 students are the sanguine students and the phlegmatic students. From the total number of students at second grade, the researcher has tested 70
students from the second grade population see appendix 5. The other 46 students belong to the other personalities and their combination. They are
neither the sanguine students nor the phlegmatic students. The way to find the average of the sanguine and phlegmatic students’
score is by the following calculation. The average in statistics is known by mean M. The pattern of Mean is
N X
f Mx
1
Description: fX : the total of students’ score
N : a number of students This pattern is to find Mean from single data which the scores are more
than one frequency; whether they are for some data or whole of them. The following is the calculation for x
1
or the sanguine students.

The writer has got the first Mean, and then he stepped forward to the second Mean. It is for the phlegmatic students. The calculation is as follows:

The writer has already got both Mean for the two groups of students. The average shows that the sanguine students’ average is higher than the
phlegmatic students’. The next calculation will describe the significance difference of the sanguine and the phlegmatic students.
Suharsimi in her book writes the classification of scores as follow

:
Table 4.3 The Classification of Scores by S. Arikunto
Score Grade
Remark 80 – 100
Excellent A
66 – 79 Good
B 56 – 65
Fair C
40 – 55 Poor
D 30 – 39
Fail E
Based on the classification of scores above, it can be divided into the high, middle, and low scores:
The high scores: 80 – 100 The middle scores: 56 – 79
The low scores: 30 – 55

Furthermore, the writer will determine the percentage of the score by using formula below:
P = F x 100 N
P = Percentage F = frequency
N = Number of Students
