As a senior specialist in MBTI, I have come across many individuals of different personality types. However, there is one type that has always captured my attention - the INFP. INFPs are known for their idealistic approach to life, their deep feelings, and their creative minds. Poetry has always been a medium for INFPs to express themselves and connect with the world on a deeper level. In this article, we will explore some INFP poetry and how it expands the world of INFP.
The first thing to understand about INFPs is that they are deeply connected to their emotions. They feel everything intensely, and poetry gives them a way to express those emotions in a way that others can understand. One INFP poem that captures this essence is "If You Forget Me" by Pablo Neruda. The lines, "I want you to know / one thing. / You know how this is: / if I look / at the crystal moon, at the red branch / of the slow autumn at my window, / if I touch / near the fire / the impalpable ash / or the wrinkled body of the log, / everything carries me to you" perfectly encapsulate the intensity with which an INFP feels their emotions.
Another characteristic of INFPs is their idealism. They hold very high standards for themselves and for the world around them. Poetry allows them to reflect on the beauty they see in the world and capture the essence of their dreams. One such poem is "Defining Love" by Rumi. The lines, "Love is the bridge between you and everything" expresses the INFP's desire to connect with everything around them and their belief that love is the answer to bridging the gap between themselves and the world.
INFPs are also known for their creative minds. They often have a unique perspective on the world and are able to see things in a different way than others. Poetry allows them to capture this unique perspective and share it with others. A perfect example of this is "When Death Comes" by Mary Oliver. The lines, "When it's over, I want to say all my life / I was a bride married to amazement. / I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms" embodies the INFP's approach to life. They want to embrace everything that life has to offer and see it in a different light.
Through poetry, INFPs are able to expand their world by sharing their emotions, dreams, and unique perspectives. As MBTI specialists, it is important for us to understand the ways in which individuals of different personality types express themselves. By understanding INFP poetry, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the world they see and the emotions they feel.
