You may think you unwittingly select a seat when you go to the cinema. But your choice could actually define your personality, psychologists say.
According to psychologist Hiromi Mizuki, the inner workings of a person’s heart and mind can affect their choice of cinema seat.
Mizuki believes that those who choose a seat in the centre of the cinema directly in front of the screen are confident and decisive.

These seats are traditionally considered to be the best in the house and usually require advanced booking or prompt arrival.
Both actions, argues Mizuki, show a degree of assertiveness and forward-planning and therefore back up her theory.

If you opt for a seat at the back of the cinema with the screen directly in front of you, you are a calm and collected person.
But in selecting a seat away from the action, you may be slightly timid and afraid of being influenced by others, says Mizuki.

People who love sociable activity and being around others select a seat on the front row with the screen directly in front of them.
‘Because these seats fill your whole field of vision with the screen, people who choose these seats have a desire to be constantly connected with others,’ writes Mizuki.
If you prefer setting up camp in the middle row with the screen slightly off-centre, you crave personal space and apparently only gravitate towards people you feel you can be yourself around.
Holing yourself away in one of the cinema’s back corners means you’re the kind of person who wants to know everything that’s going on but don’t have the confidence to get involved yourself, argues Mizuki.
If sitting in a front corner is more your style, you’re the kind of person who accepts being inconvenienced, and Mizuki warns that people may take advantage of your weakness.
