this Wakefield Doctrine, it will help me live a more satisfying life? It offers (me) a better way to relate to people? What do I do first?

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine ( the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers )

The answers to the questions posed in the Title of today’s Post (in reverse order):

  1. …read as much of this blog as you need in order to understand the Wakefield Doctrine, read the Posts and Comment on at least one of the Posts
  2. …It most certainly does!
  3. yep!
While the three, conveniently numbered answers above are all the information that the clarks in the audience will require, lets take a moment to address the needs of our rogerian and scottian Readers. In their case, we will use (a) bullet point/numbered list format, mostly because it makes the information appear to be organized in a concise and direct fashion (for our scottian readers) while, at the same time,  making everything look all neat and orderly and deliberate ( you know, rogerian!)
First up, to our scottian Readers:
  • Hey! you’re not frickin gonna believe the ‘edge’ that this Doctrine thing will give you out there in the real world
  • Thats right!! an edge…an advantage that no one…no one else but you will have at work or at play or (especially) at home
  • this is really easy!  you’re right you do have it down pretty much already  just a couple of quick pointers
  • you’re the cool action-oriented one of the three
  • the rogers, the ones you love to make fun of?  they are so easy now it’s not funny ( just joking!  still funny but better!)
  • that third type? these ‘clarks‘? you still can get them to laugh, ‘cept now with the Doctrine, they’ll get all “hey scott you really understand the Doctrine now! thats great lets talk about the theory…blah…blah…blah
The rogerian Readers will find the Wakefield Doctrine interesting for the following, well-thought out reasons:
  1. there are numbered reasons and (they) are nicely indented
  2. obviously this Wakefield Doctrine was not developed by those scottian personality types, there is not a single crayon-drawn ‘FUCK’ anywhere to be seen (…on this page)
  3. it all seems to make sense and they do appear to be quite sincere in their appreciation of the necessity of maintaining traditions
  4. those clarks, hmmm …a little…wild-eyed and impractical, but they seem to be appreciating the necessity of maintaining traditions
  5. this all does seem to form a very neat and tidy box, too bad that I don’t recall ever having thought of it myself
  6. …wait a minute, this is all beginning to look a little bit familiar, I believe I thought of this in 1975…
Well, that should take care of all our New Readers.
Everyone else? Have fun! Seriously! (lol) after all is said and done, the Wakefield Doctrine is a fun, and useful and unique way of understanding the behavior of the people in our damn lives. If you know the characteristics of the three personality types, you are totally all set.
Boyfriend a scott? Forget the long involved appeals to his intellect:  go for the BRIGHT SHINY SEXY…when you have his attention (for however brief a time) you have all of him! As much as you are going to get, at any rate.
Wife looking like a roger? Fine, not the worst thing in the world! Need to get something done? Never surprise a roger, never present a new idea to a roger in public…always in private first get their attention” REFLECT SHINY SEXY/HOME IMPROVEMENT* If you manage to get her to believe that what you want is something that she already knew and wanted, you are all set.
clark for a friend?…how in luck are you! just don’t take their ideas and efforts at figuring our their own lives personally, there is nothing you can do to help…other than point them to this blog and hope for the best.
(Hey, do you think I should do that last section as bullet points too?…it really is some useful, practical Doctrine advice…now that I read it, it might be the whole point of today’s Post)

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

  1. Yes. The Wakefield Doctrine does provide the “edge” one needs in order to successfully navigate one’s life ship.

    “Never surprise a roger, never present a new idea to a roger in public…always in private first get their attention” REFLECT SHINY SEXY/HOME IMPROVEMENT* If you manage to get her to believe that what you want is something that she already knew and wanted, you are all set.”

    Now tell me this is not true! How point on! This is a skill I have developed over the years with my own resident roger. One has to “ease” a roger into the new and different. A whole other sales campaign is needed than what would be used with either a scott or a clark.
