Sitting styles and the body language are more than just postures. They indicate the subconscious feeling of what a person might be feeling and how his personality reflects his actions. There are various positions which translate into positions of psychological analysis of a person. Such styles can often help identify a lot about a person and what can be expected from that person in the future.
