The technique of analyzing data is the use of comparative analysis. The research may be about two similar things that have crucial
differences.
1
The things may not correlate each other. Comparative analysis ideals for someone who needs to hold a research in getting the
problem belonged to two or more independent variables. Husein Umar stated the research to the group of empirical studies where the researcher
cannot control the independent variable because the problem happened, or characteristics cannot be manipulated.
2
Comparative analysis technique is one of quantitative analysis technique or one of statistical technique that can be used to test hypothesis
concerns about whether or not there is a difference between or among variable tested. If the difference is found, researcher will need to ensure
whether it is significant or only by chance.
3
It makes the data and the result could be more objective.
According to limitation of the study in the previous chapters, firstly, the writer compares the sanguine students and the phlegmatic
students to their way of learning speaking. The comparison describes the similarities and the differences of both students’ personalities. The next is
the comparative analysis to the speaking score of the sanguine and the phlegmatic students. This analysis is to answer the research question.
C. The Population and Sample
The writer chooses the population of all students from the second graders of SMP Wijayakusuma. The writer applies 100 students to be
tested because all the students actually can be the participant without any more selection, neither choosing through gender nor percentage of the sum
total population.

To get accurate data about the students responsiveness to this research, the writer noted the total students of the VIII classes are 70
students. The students are divided into two classes, with the detail description of a number of students as follow:
VIII A : 36 students.
VIII B : 34 students.
D. The Technique of Collecting data
The technique of collecting data is the use of personality test which identifies students’ personality through examining personality based on list
of traits. It is suitable to classify personalities for the reason that the test is taken from standardized assessment written by Florence Littauer. The test
is arranged based on the 40 question numbers from all four personalities; sanguine, choleric, melancholic, and phlegmatic. They can be observed
apparently on the table below.

The questionnaire has 40 question numbers. Every number of items consists of traits from the four personalities. The word definition of the test
can be seen in appendix 3. To do the test the writer asked the students to put a check list
√ to the best choice from the four trait options on entirely item numbers. The
answer represents their trait that fit to them best. Then the check list test
36
papers that have been done by the students are matched to the indicators table above. For examples:
Number 1 C Adventurous.
P Adaptable. S Animated.
M Analytical Number 2
M Persistent. S Playful.
C Persuasive. P Peaceful.
Each symbol means C
: is for Choleric S
: is for Sanguine M
: is for Melancholic P
: is for Phlegmatic By seeing the check list, the student answers animated for item
number 1. It means the item number 1 will be counted as sanguine. For the item number 2 the student answer is peaceful. It must be counted as
phlegmatic. The same way is applied to the next numbers until the last one.
After matching all the item numbers of the test, we can see the portion of each personality. The four personalities have portions in
different quantity of check lists such as shown in the following:
No Name
S C
M P
1.
Student 1 17
9 7
7
2.
Student 2 17
8 6
9
3.
Student 3 9
7 8
16
4.
Student 4 7
4 9

The way of personality judgment is by seeing the highest result that appears on the total questions. On the table above student 1 has 17 and
student 2 has 17 at the sanguine column and student 3 has 16 and student 4 has 20 at the phlegmatic column. They can be said as the dominants which
mean student 1 and student 2 are the sanguine students. Student 3 and student 4 are the phlegmatic students. Those are the students’ personality.
There for, the students have their own personality, the researcher then separated the students who belong to the sanguine and phlegmatic
personality, and then the students of the two personalities were calculated with a certain statistical method.
