Attorneys in general rank in the 93%+ range on Skepticism, 43% higher than the norm in the U.S. population. They also rank much higher than average in Autonomy, Abstract Reasoning and Urgency. They rank much lower than average in Resilience and Sociability. What does that mean for you? How do you adjust your way of working to be more successful working with attorneys? Skepticism is generally a questioning attitude or doubt, seeing knowledge in a particular area is uncertain, suspending judgment, systematic doubting or criticizing knowledge. Attorneys are likely to challenge you at every turn, which is not a bad thing. This forces you to do your homework before you present something to them. Listen to their concerns and address them factually. Autonomy is the capacity to make an informed, uncoerced decision, independently. Attorneys don't want or need to be led. It's about building trust with them rather than dictating a solution or telling them they are doing some thing wrong. Abstract reasoning is about reaching logical conclusions in the absence of physical data, concrete phenomena, or specific instances. It's what allows attorneys to do strategic thinking, pick up new concepts quickly and coping under pressure. It means they will make conclusions that might not be what you expect, finding gaps or holes in your arguments. Sociability is about connecting with people, seeking out companionship, engaging in interpersonal relations, and participating in social activities. This means some attorneys struggle to build and maintain relationships. Knowing that, you can approach them with more success.
