The reliability of the scale of impulsive buying was (α) = 0.747, the reliability of a compliant personality scale was (α) = 0.758, the reliability of the scale aggressive personality was (α) = 0.801, and reliability of the scale detached personality was (α) = 0.795. The data analysis techniques this research applied the Spearman's Rho test in SPSS for Windows version 23.0 since the data distribution was irregular. The results showed that there were positive and significant correlation (r = 0.139; p = 0.008) between the personality compliant (X = 36.11; SD = 4.853) and the impulsive buying (x̄ = 28.65; SD = 4.038). There was a positive and a significant correlation (r = 0.156; p = 0.003) between the aggressive personality (x = 32.38; SD = 4.499) and the impulsive buying (x̄ = 28.65; SD = 4.038).
