Analysing Ahmad Shamloo & Muhammad Al-Maghut’s personality Based on the Lüscher Colour Test

Colour is one of the important elements of aesthetics in poetry. In modern psychology, colour is a criterion for personality identification. The Lüscher Colour Test is one of the famous theories in this area according to this theory, personality traits could be identified based on one’s choice of colour. Ahmad Shamloo (1304_1379) SH and Muhammad Al-Maghut, the contemporary Syrian writer and poet (1934-2006) - the leaders of blank verse-  are the poets who use colours in these poems a lot. This article aims to analyse Shamloo & Al-Maghut’s personality based on the Lüscher Colour Test, and to give the readers more accurate image of their personality. The test results and interpretation of the couples obtained from the test are expected to match the personality which we know of them. The results show that our intended poets have been trying to escape from their living experiences and poetry has been a shelter for their bitter experiences and colours support to help them to picture their ideal world.
