The data analysis technique used was product moment correlation. Based on the results of data analysis, the correlation coefficient was rxy = 0.238 with p = 0.002 (p < 0.05) for extraversion personality, rxy = 0.284 with p = 0.000 (p < 0.05) for agreeableness personality, rxy = 0.335 with p = 0.000 (p < 0.05) for conscientiousness personality, rxy = -0.339 with p = 0.000 (p < 0.05) for neuroticism personality, and rxy = 0.166 with p = 0.029 (p < 0.05) for intellect personality.
