This study explores the influence of MBTI personality types on three categories of English learning strategies-metacognitive, cognitive, and social/affective-used by English majors in English listening. The research findings indicate that significant differences exist in the selection of English listening learning strategies among subjects with different MBTI dimensions. Extraverted subjects actively employ cognitive and social/affective strategies, while intuitive subjects demonstrate greater aptitude in cognitive and metacognitive strategies. The results of this study can assist educators in providing more personalized instruction to students with different personality types, thereby enhancing the pertinence and effectiveness of teaching English listening.
