Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine ( the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers )
Go ahead and dial: 218-339-0422 Enter the access code: 512103 (followed by) # At 4:00 EDT Today March 21st
Topic 1 Occupations that you are likely to succeed in according to your personality type
clark: Teacher, Artist, Waitress, Lighthouse Keeper, Shopkeeper
scott: Salesman, Police Officer, Surgeon, Stripper
roger: Accountant, Engineer, Postal Employee, Frustrated Housewife
Topic 2: Occupations and/careers that each of the three personality types would be least likely to succeed at:
clarks: Surgeon, Football Coach,
scotts: Priest
rogers: Toll booth attendent
Case A Study for Discussion:
The Occupation: Waiter/Waitress
The personality type that is ‘most likely to succeed’: rogerian male and clarklike female
Case Study B for Discussion: (courtsey of DS#1)
The Occupation: Talk Show Host
The personality type that is most likely to suceed’: roger (both male and female!)
Can anyone tell us why this is so?

(Hey everyone knows how much the Doctrine loves and appreciates ‘the Wikipedia’…we depend on it and are card-carrying, voluntary-contribution-paying members since…oh, I don’t know, 2009 or some time…any way…I had to ‘share’* this analysis of today’s song which is an Isley Brothers** song. As follows:
“Lyrically, the song explicates a troubled situation between a man and his girlfriend/wife, concerning the lack of quality time spent with each other. The man pleads that as much as he cannot wait to get home and spend time with her, he has a more pressing obligation/commitment to attend to work.” ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_to_Do )
* share: to use, borrow (promise to return) and otherwise appropriate in order to put a Sherwin Williams patina on the shoat
** Jimi Hendrix played with these guys, ’til they fired him for putting on a solo set between the regular sets when the Isleys were on tour (lol, no! he didn’t!)
About clarkscottroger
First things first. Isley Bros. v AWB? Average White Band hands down. Coincidentally, a couple of weeks ago I watched an old black and white vid clip of Jimi playing with said Isleys….(interesting to say the least:)
scotts: would not make good social workers. They would not be good at any job/position requiring patience, empathy and/or sympathy.
– no good as a librarian either. lol
scottian males: good political strategists, stockbrokers and or day traders
scottian females: successful politicians
rogerian men: good politicians, archeologists
rogerian females: make good talk show hostesses
rogers in general would not do well in any occupation requiring empathy. They can sympathize but do not empathize
clarklike females: no good as talk show hostesses but do well as social workers
clarks of both sexes: performance artists
All I have for now…….
“…rogerian females: make good talk show hostesses.”
damn! lol I wish I had come up with that one…it is totally perfect!
In fact, this would serve as the second Case Study for today’s Post!
Totally off topic, but I watched Men In Black II last night… Love the pairing of Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith.
I’d put them as a clark and a scott… One’s all calm and collected, the other is all action.
Talk to you all later!
Hello ^_^
Well just so you know, I am a pretty lousy waitress and could be a quite good accountant (if given the opportunity)… my neurosis however keep me safe in the domain of the artistry :D
You see, there is something wrong here because we talk of the personality that is most likely to succeed in this or that occupation… but might actually fail miserably, just because of the fact that they are categorized as “most likely to succeed”…
lol I admit to falling victim to the horribly toxic (to anyone other than rogers and scotts) totally competitive, caste-philic cultural milieu that I got out of high school in/during/from (1960’s doncha know)…
I agree about the dangers of using terms that are ‘loaded’ and fraught with hazard ( excuse me I have to ask everyone to stop laughing…sure I may come up with terms like the term: Predator or Rogerian Expression)… lol that and I can blame my book collaborator Lise
Now that I say that, I think she suggested that I focus on Aptitudes and Deficiences …thats a lot like ‘Most Likely to Suceed’ right? lol
LOL! Well dear Clark I have no idea what I really meant since it is your use of the term “most likely to succeed”… by the way, did you know that I hate labels? okay, I stop teasing now ^_^
I enjoyed the read that is all ;)
(…I get that a lot…lol) it is good to hear (by inference) that this particularly rogerian terms ( ‘most likely to succeed’) is no longer in common usage…but you know what they say about clarks, what we lack in diction and volume of voice we make up in a very odd sense of synonym.
Good to hear from you!
Just curious…it is my sense that scottian women would make better prosecutors and scottian men would make better defenders. Is there some sort of sex bias hidden there? Am I on track with my assessment?
totally on target… tooth and claw aggressiveness in Versace and disarmingly charming cleverness with a Fred MacMurray sweater, I submit:
