One of personality type that can be used to review students creative thinking skills is the Keirsey personality type. The purpose of this research is obtain a description of student personality types based on Keirsey personality test result and creative thinking skill of student in solving mathematical problem on personality types Guardian, Artisan, Rational, and Idealist. The research subject were students of class X MIPA 1 in one of the senior high schools in Bandung by purposive sampling. This research is descriptive-qualitative research. The results showed that subjects with Guardian personality types became the majority in the class and students with Idealist personality types became the minority.
