Are you sitting comfortably?

You probably know that your face can give away the secrets about you, but did you know that how you sit can also say a lot about your personality? Not many do, but believe it or not, studies have found that the position of our legs and feet is actually very important. But what does the way you sit say about you and are you as comfortable as you think? Let's look at a few positions that people often use and what they might mean. 

1. 

Sitting with your feet flat on the floor and your knees close together is very common, isn't it? Maybe so, but you might be surprised to hear that if you like to sit like this you are probably confident and clever. People who sit like this are also usually on time, tidy and don't like arguments.

2.  

It might seem that sitting with your knees apart is just a casual way to relax. However, if you sit with your knees apart you are probably someone who gets bored easily. People who sit like this may also put themselves before others and sometimes aren't helpful.

3.                              

If you sit with your legs crossed, you are probably good at having new ideas or finding new ways to deal with something. People who sit like this may also dream a lot about their future or changing the world. Be careful though, it could also mean that someone isn't interested in what they're seeing or listening to.

4. 

Sitting with your ankles crossed isn't as common as some of these other positions, but it also says important things about you. If you sit with your ankles crossed you are likely to be outgoing and co-operative. However, people who sit like this might also be embarrassed. In fact, researchers found that airline staff use this to spot people who need help, but don't want to ask for it.
