Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine!
We are genuinely glad you could stop by and take a look at this thing of ours. Today we have a short, quick Post for you, because tomorrow is Video Friday and at the moment I have nothing but an odd idea (for the video)  and that’s it. 
No, truth be told, I have more than that! I have the Wakefield Doctrine ( the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers ) and that gives me a ‘tool’, a ‘resource’ and ‘place to stand’ 

Since I brought it up, what do I mean when I refer to (the Wakefield Doctrine) as a ‘tool’, a ‘resource’ and ‘a place to stand’?  I will be glad to tell you, but before we do that, a quick, block-quoted overview of the Wakefield Doctrine for the new Reader.

The Wakefield Doctrine is based on the idea that all people are born with the potential to experience the world in one of the three characteristic ways and that at an early age we  ‘settle on’ one of these (3)  ways and go on to live and experience the world as:  a clark,  a scott or as a roger. Predominately one of the three, we never lose the capacity to see the world as the other two types would. (This is why many people, when introduced to the Doctrine, will say, “I know I must be a roger, but sometimes I act like a scott! ) As a ‘personality theory’, the Wakefield Doctrine  maintains  that it is not a collection of self-reported traits, habits, likes/dislikes…favorite colors…zodiacal influences, none of these are essential to understanding the behavior of people. The Doctrine  simply says that some people live among us as outsiders, other people that you may encounter today live in the world as predators and an awful lot of the people you may bump into today are experiencing the world as if they were a member of a vast herd; this is the key to understanding the behavior of the people in our lives.  With this unique, useful and fun view of human interaction, not only will you finally be able to answer that most frustrating of lamentations,  “Why on earth would they go and do something like that? I really thought I knew them better!”
The Wakefield Doctrine is one of the most useful and efficacious and totally effective approaches to self-development.  The Wakefield Doctrine is gender neutral and culture neutral.  The Wakefield Doctrine is  easy to learn, completely fun to use  and will help you get whatever it is that you think you need to get from Life.

Back to today’s topic… you know that there are three types of people reading this, right?  clarks: who get this Doctrine-thing right off the bat;  scotts: (who) understand  it pretty quickly, but throw most of it away and only keep the parts with an edge and/or are shiny and rogers: who understand and have an initial enthusiasm but then unfortunately, they look around, see the lack of a crowd or an Official Endorsement or a scott and they let it drop out of their hands.  Well the thing about the ‘use’ of the Doctrine is as follows:

• tool  the Wakefield Doctrine will allow you to understand the other person in your life. Note that we did not say ‘agree’ or ‘get comfortable’  we said understand. The reason that you will be able to understand the other person is that you will be able to figure out if they are a clark or a scott or a roger, unless the person you are trying to understand is the same type as you, you will then have a perspective, you will see the differences in the world they are experiencing compared to your own.
• resource: contrary to what most scotts say and many rogers infer (in private) there is always room to self-improve ourselfs
• a place to stand:  a reference to Archimedes…made sense at the beginning of the Post, now…not so much

In conclusion, we invite you to join us, if you are sociable and/or hungry (literally or figuratively) then go and visit one of the DownSprings or FOTD’s sites!!  Lets see now… pour un appétit comme la vôtre, peut je recommande:

scotts:  start over at DS#1’s site and then maybe Alex’s and finally to  pour nettoyer le palais  maybe  Molly’s blog or Alexandra’s
rogers: AKH is where you need to start, then DownSpring glenn’s and finally the roger’s blog ( yeah, I know)
clarks:  lol  whatever…try to remember where you have been

So where is the damn exit from this funhouse, at!!?
