Students’ mathematical problem solving skills based on personality type Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and learning styles

Problem-solving skills are an important aspect of mathematics. Problem-solving ability is related to personality type and learning style. This study aims to describe students skills to solve mathematical problems in terms of the personality type Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the learning style. The type of research is qualitative research with subject determination techniques, namely purposive sampling and simple random sampling. The data collection techniques are questionnaires, tests, and interviews. The results showed that subjects with the highest mathematical problem solving ability were rational personalities who had a kinesthetic learning style. While the subjects with the lowest problem-solving ability are guardian personality subjects who have a visual learning style.
