Second, to differentiate teacher’s selfregulation in with observing personality types. The research method used quantitative comparative approach.

Participants were employed ego depletion scale, scale of self-regulation, and introverted-extroverted personality type-scale. The result showed that t = -0.917 (p> 0.05), which means there was no difference between ego depletion with measuring personality type (introvert and extrovert) of teachers. Subsequent analysis was known that score t = -0.032 (p> 0.975), it means that there was no difference between selfregulation and personality type (extrovert and introvert) of teachers. It can be concluded that personality type (extrovert-introvert) doesn’t influence individual’s ego depletion. Likewise, the self-regulation also doesn’t affected by the personality type.
