The result of the research gave an overview that mathematical communication skill of students having introvert personality can arrange conjecture, make an argument, and formulate generalization definition. However, they had difficulty in understanding a mathematical presentation. Meanwhile, the students having extrovert personality can explore their ideas, but they have difficulty in revealing the idea or mathematical paragraph in their language.
