Also, the study sought to identify the dominant intelligences in each row.</span><br> <b>Methods</b>: <span lang="EN">To this end, 107 male high school students, aged 15 to 18, from grades one, two, and three were randomly selected for participation. A two-part questionnaire, developed by Armstrong (2018), was administered to each student: the first part was concerned with the seven intelligences, and the second part asked students to indicate their preferred seat and row. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and the Friedman test. </span><br> <b>Results</b>: <span lang="EN">The results revealed significant correlations only between students&#39; verbal/linguistic and interpersonal intelligences and their seat choices. These correlations were found to be strongly negative, indicating that students&#39; verbal/linguistic and interpersonal intelligences tended to decrease as they moved toward the back seats of the classroom. No significant correlations were found between seat choice and the other five intelligences (logical/mathematical, spatial/visual, body/kinesthetic, musical/rhythmical, and intrapersonal). The study also found that, except for the fourth row, a dominant intelligence was identified in each row. Overall, logical/mathematical and spatial/visual intelligences were the most prominent and consistent across all rows. </span><br> <b>Conclusions</b>: <span lang="EN">The findings underscore the need to develop student-centered teaching strategies, curricula, and materials that take into account the dominant intelligences in the classroom.</span></span></span></span></span></div> Multiple intelligences, Seat choice, Verbal/linguistic intelligence, Interpersonal intelligence, Logical/mathematical intelligence, Spatial/visual intelligence 0 0 http://ijer.hormozgan.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-429-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Somaye Hajizadeh-Farkoush somaye_hajizadeh@yahoo.com 0000-0002-0000-0000 No MA in ELT and Independent Researcher, Tehran, Iran Shahabaddin Behtary s.behtary@iau.ac.ir 0000-0003-3395-310X No Lecturer in ELT, Department of English, Ard.
