This research aimed to know and analyze students’ personalities based on their reading attitudes and identify the reading strategies frequently used by students. The research was conducted at SMP PGRI 1 Palembang using a qualitative method.

The research sample consisted of 30 students from class VIII.1 at SMP PGRI 1 Palembang in the academic year 2022–2023, even semester. Based on this research, it was found that 24% of students in class VIII.1 have a conscientiousness personality characterized by being organized, responsible, and disciplined.
