This study aimed to: 1) describe the types of errors made by compliance type students in solving trigonometric function integral questions, 2) describe the factors that cause compliance type students in making mistake to solve integral trigonometric function problems. The type of this research was descriptive qualitative. The subjects of this research are the second semester student of the Mathematics Education Study Program 2019/2020 academic year. The subjects were then given a DISC personality profile test and were selected 4 from 5 students with the Compliance personality type to do error analysis based on the Newman stage by focusing on indicators at the transformation stage, the processing ability and answer writing phase. Data analysis through data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. Checking the validity of the data used source triangulation by comparing the results of the student's compliance type test with the results of the interview. The results showed that the type of error that occurred in the compliance type student in solving the integral trigonometric function is in a transformation error where the subject is unable to determine the correct formula in some of the questions given. All subjects process skills errors as a result of transformation errors made by previous students such as incorrectly determining the formula used to solve the problem, besides that, student errors occurred in determining changes in functions involving partial integrals and changes in the shape of a trigonometric function. All subjects made mistakes in writing the final answer for each mistake made, there were even students who were unable to complete the final answer correctly from the procedure used. The factors that cause student errors in solving integral trigonometric function questions include external factors and internal factors. Internal factors include physical condition, motivation, intelligence abilities, self-confidence and poor study habits of students. Meanwhile, external factors are the conditions of the learning environment that are not conducive.
