In the contrary, the lower the self-confidence and assertiveness, so the worse interpersonal communication. Then, by employing Random Sampling technique, about 85 students of MAN Binjai are selected as the sample. As the data collection scale, Likert scale was organized to count self-confidence, assertiveness and interpersonal communication scales.
