Based on this psychological endowment, individuals shall either be introverts or extroverts while behaving during oral discourses. This study investigates the impact of personality on English language oral performance (ELOP), focusing on accuracy, fluency, and vocabulary. A purposive sample of 35 tertiary-level students was selected. Two personality measuring scales, i.e. Eysenic Personality Inventory (EPI) and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), were used to determine the specific traits of the participants. On the basis of the score obtained, the participants were classified as introverts and extroverts. Classroom observations, guided by observational protocols, were conducted in gleaning data. To minimize researcher bias, observations were conducted collaboratively with co-researchers and their observation and further followed by validation through concerned class teachers. Thematic analysis of the collected data revealed that extraversion significantly influences ELOP.  \nKeywords: ESL students, extrovert, introvert, oral performance, personality type  \n1 PhD Student in TESOL, University Sains Malaysia (USM-Main Campus), [rehmat@student.usm.my](rehmat@student.usm.my)  \n2 Senior Lecturer in TESOL and Education Technology, School of Educational Studies, University Science Malaysia (USM-Main Campus) [Malaysia. amelia@usm.my](Malaysia. amelia@usm.my)  \n20  \nColomb.

A partir de esta, configuración psicológica, los individuos tienden a comportarse como introvertidos o extrovertidos durante los discursos orales. El presente estudio analiza el impactode la personalidad en el rendimiento oral en inglés (ELOP, por sus siglas en inglés), centrándose en la precisión, la fluidez y el vocabulario. Para ello, se seleccionó una muestra intencional de treinta y cinco estudiantes de nivel terciario. Se aplicaron dos instrumentos de medición de la personalidad—el Inventario de Personalidad de Eysenic (EPI) y el Indicador de Tipo MyersBriggs (MBTI)—para determinar los rasgos específicos de los participantes. Según la puntuación obtenida, los participantes fueron clasificados en introvertidos y extrovertidos. La recolección de datos se realizó mediante observaciones en el aula, guiadas por protocolos estructurados. Para mitigar posibles sesgos del investigador, las observaciones se llevaron a cabo en colaboración con co-investigadores y fueron posteriormente validadas por los profesores de clase interesados. El análisistemático de los datos recopilados reveló que la extraversión influye significativamente en ELOP.  \nPalabras clave: Estudiantes de ESL, extrovertidos, introvertidos, rendimiento oral, tipo de personalidad  \n21  \nColomb.
