Abstract
Simin Behbahani and Ghada Al-Saman have an idealistic spirit that Hornay's personality psychology can undoubtedly help solve problems that cause isolationist behavior or social conflicts by discovering the mentality of people. In the society of these two poets, the female gender has limitations and sufferings that made them to describe their conditions and ideals to inform this group of people in the society. The analysis of poems by Simin and Ghada is to show the hidden aspects of the personalities of the people of their time. This research, with a fundamental and descriptive-analytical method, tries to investigate the similarity of individual components in the poems of these two poets, and based on this, to state which personality type, according to Horne, was more reflected in their poems. As a result, Simin's poems express the unfavorable social atmosphere, which causes a person to criticize in order to face the resulting anxiety and seek refuge in isolation when he is disappointed in achieving his goals. The research results show that two poets have reflected all three personality types in their poems; However, based on the findings, the personality type of "solitary" has the highest frequency in individual similarity, which is seen in both poems equally; Because in this case, the tendency of the person to react to emotional emotions is greater.
