the Wakefield Doctrine, the best damn theory of personality in the world?

Welcome!    ……No, really! We totally are sincere in being glad that you are here today. 


Heck, the only reason there is a Wakfefield Doctrine blog, is because we are hoping to share the fun; to introduce others to the useful and incredibly insightful personality theory that is the Wakefield Doctrine.
While the presentation/explanation/illustration of this personality theory sometimes falters, the intent and determination to keep trying to get the insights into human behavior (contained in the Doctrine) across to Readers never does… the Wakefield Doctrine blog is an example of an idea that drives the message. (as opposed to those lame-assed survey type, what color is your pancreas “personality” “theories” that offer the sole benefit of allowing a person to believe that ‘an expert’ will tell them about the people in their lives as opposed to the person knowing it themselves.)

If you were hoping to find a ‘personality theory that has a huge following, a theory of personality that everyone knows about ( hey,if it is that popular, it must be true!), the Doctrine is probably not a good fit.  If you would feel better knowing that all you have to do is answer 23 questions and you will get back a simple answer telling you why your boyfriend sometimes is such a jerk or why your parents just keep nagging about a simple fashion choice or how you can ever make those people at school leave you alone, the Wakefield Doctrine blog is not for you. There are no phds here at the Doctrine, and we don’t have a 23 question survey of questions and most of all we don’t have 600,000 followers. What the Wakefield Doctrine does have is:

  • a way to understand why people act the way that they do
  • an insight into how you got yourself into the predicament that you currently find yourself in
  • a way of knowing that there are only three personality types in the whole damn world, (that means everyone)
  • a small, but growing group of Readers who enjoy looking for clarks and scotts and rogers in their everyday world
  • people who have a certain, special quailty, what we call ‘flexibility of intelligence’ creative and thoughtful people
  • hats! (for your damn head(s))

 So if you want a baby coated1 personality theory that conveys the “guarantee of the herd”, you will not find it here. If you are searching for something that will provide all the answers without requiring anything from you, this is not the place for you.
Sorry, the Wakefield Doctrine, while very simple,  is not especially easy to ‘get’. But since you have read this far, the following is everything you need to know about the Doctrine in order to get some genuine  benefit from it’s insights:

All people are born with the potential to experience the world in one of three distinct and characteristic ways, these three ways correspond to the names: clarks, scotts and rogers.
At an early age in life (around 3 or 4) we all settle on one (of the three) ways to experience the world; the other two ways go into the background of our personality to stay, rarely used.
All three of these types are both gender and culture neutral, a female clark is a clark first, a scottian female is still a predator and a roger from the Middle East still loves to watch Ken Burns films.
Once you accept the fact that world experienced by a clark is different from the world seen by the roger and the scott different from both (very minor but critical differences) then you are ready for the charactersitics of the three personality types:

  • clarks: go to this Page and read all about clarks  (…clarks think )
  • scotts: get on over to this Page bone up on our scottian brethren (…scotts act )
  • rogers: yes, you have to click on the link, no, we can’t bring it out to you…go on now to this Page ( …rogers feel )

With the characteristics of each of the three personality types of the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers ) down, you are ready for the fun! Go out into your day and see them! Really, this is the totally fun part! All those people in your life will start acting in ways that you recognise (as clarks, scotts and rogers) and then you will see how they interact with each other and you might even get scared! …’How could those Wakefield Doctrine people know that my roommate who spends an hour on her hair and then wears combat boots, how she seems to be funny only to certain people that means she must be a clark !?’ …”are those Doctrine people frickin psychic?…sure it seems that my buddy is a roger, and he loves hats and bicycles, but how the hell did they know he would roll over for that girl who is clearly such a slut?’

Thats what we have for  you the Readers. Nothing less than a whole different way of seeing the world. And sorry to say there is no test or entry fee or any other kind of hurdle for you to jump. (We know that some people think that because we are not being exclusive or demanding, then this must not be worth anything.

Seeing how you made it this far, here’s a treat! A ‘quick link’ to a Page that most new Readers seem to enjoy…click this

There is one thing you can do…write a Comment…tell us how much you like this stuff…remember what some of us say, “Hey, there are no stupid questions! Just your questions!”2

1) ‘baby coat’ it’s  a rogerian expression
2) everyone tells me (well, the rogers tell me…) that this joke is not funny

Well, what exactly do you want to know? Whether I am a clark or a scott or roger? If you have to ask, then you need to keep reading the Posts for two reasons: a)to get a clear enough understanding to be able to make the determination of which type I am and 2) to realize that by definition I am all three.* *which is true for you as well, all three...but mostly one
