The way we learn is very much affected by our personality. Practitioners have claimed that perception of personality type can help teachers to understand the reason why students perform differently in class activities (Wilz, 2000)Regarding the significant role of different personality types in language learning in general and in mastering L2 writing in particular, the present study aims at investigating the possible impact of extrovert/introvert personality types of Kosovo s EFL learners on their writing performance in terms of its different subsets The study aims at investigating the role of extroversion/introversion personality traits in learning writing skills of English as a second language. The selected sample for the research consisted of 30 participants who undertook instruction on ‘Essay Writing and Presentation’ for six months as a formal course of study in their MA English Program. The research tools consisted of a questionnaire and an achievement test on writing skills. The questionnaire consisted of 30 items all adopted from Eysenck’s Personality Questionnaire to measure the introversion/extroversion traits of students’ personality. After identifying their personality trait (i.e., introvert, extrovert and neurotic), the participants were given an achievement test on writing skills. The participants’ scores in the achievement test were submitted to SPSS and independent sample t-test was applied. The findings reveal that a significant difference exists between the writing achievement of introvert and extrovert learner groups. However, no difference is found between the writing performance of neurotic and introvert learner groups or between neurotic and extrovert learner groups. The results also reveal that introverts are better learners of ESL writing skills as compared to the extroverts.
