Where do you like to sit? - Page 2

**Ijz** · 10-18-2007, 11:51 AM

I preferred to sit at the back to get a good overview of the class.

In trains and buses I prefer to sit next to the window and as far away from people as possible. What always drove me insane was people that would sit really close to me even when the train was virtually empty....I need my personal space....

Yes, as many people stated before me, I almost always sit in the back row of classroom, generally leaning towards one side of the room. I also prefer that there is at least one seat in between me and the person next to me, as I like to have a large area of personal space. I choose to sit in the back so that I can (1) Observe all of the occurrences that take place in the room (this probably has to do with the NT drive for omniscience), (2) so that if bored, I can engage in my own private more stimulating activities without being noticed, and (3) since people in my school seem to enjoy my irritated reactions when they unexpectedly poke or otherwise touch me from behind, I will sit in the back row so that nobody will be able to accomplish this.

I almost always sit at the last row, so that I can do whatever I want without others noticing or commenting. I get aisle seats, because I find it distracting to be surrounded by people when seating in the middle of the row. People used to get offended when I wouldn't sit with them, but now I think they're more used to it...

I know exactly know what you mean, here is a great example it will even make your head explode. While sitting in the middle, the person on the left is talking to you [mostly course related stuff because I know that person from another course] and the person on the right is talking to you [mostly with the current course related stuff], then the person behind you[Talking to you about the class we needed in order to graduate]. Its a gift/curse of an INTJ, but we are great Information HUBs, without offending anyone and managed to mute on information flow at one side, then continue on to the next person, lastly the last person. Most people can't handle that way too much information.

It depends on the situation. *If I'm new at a church, I like to sit in the back to one side. *If I've been in a group a while, I will sit near the front. *If I'm in a function at work, I like to sit in the front to encourage the other employees not to be afraid of the activity. *It makes the speaker feel better (and iI have to admit it scores brownie points with my boss).

In lectures, I like sitting at front. More concentration, less distraction. I love the concentration I get when I sit up front. It is like if I'm in a new world. But when I'm at back, it is usually because the class is boring or I decided to distract myself intentionally.

In other places, I prefer seats near the wall. It gives me a sense of comfort.

Usually I just grab the closest seat to the door that isn't intruding on anyone. So at a party I might think if the person I sit to is expecting someone and thus I might not sit there, or on a train I just sit at the closest open seat unless it is too much effort to get to that seat.

i sit right in front of the lecturer. front and center. makes it easier for us to hear each other.

I like to sit where I've got a vantage point of everyone else, windows, and I don't have my back facing a door.

In this hall, I would probably choose to sit up on the catwalks above the spotlights, given I can get up there stealthily without too much risk of falling to my death.

I usually sit in front and to the side if I can help it.

I hate sitting in the back because there's where the chatty people sit and this way I can tune them out better from the front (and listen to them when they give an answer). Also my few friends in some classes all sit in the front and on the same side as me right by the door, which is nice at times.
