Pittsburgh – September 15, 2026 -- Lawyers score just 30% on resilience compared with 50% for the general public, a gap that has held steady since 1994, according to 30 years of data from Talogy's Caliper Profile assessment cited in a new American Bar Association book.
New ABA book credits 4.5 million Caliper assessments for resilience findings
Thin-Skinned: Why Lawyers Are So Low in Resilience and the New Science That Can Help, authored by legal psychology experts Dr. Larry Richard and Dr. D'Arcy Lyness, draws on a database of 4.5 million Caliper Profile assessments compiled by talent management firm Talogy. The book finds that nine out of 10 lawyers score in the bottom half of the resilience scale.
