The data were analyzed by using X-Bar Theory. The findings of this study indicated that there was a difference between extrovert and introvert in the number of syntax errors. In addition, the extrovert students made 10 types of errors with quantity of 108 while the introvert students only made 8 types of errors with quantity of 60.
