Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine ( the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers )
What a great week! Huge progress in shaping the message of the Wakefield Doctrine was realized in the last 5 days… hats off to all the DownSprings who, with their Comments! Totally added to the understanding of this thing of ours and brings us closer to being able to explain this Doctrine to normal people!
Claire (in ‘Won’t you have a seat? Mr Andrews…‘) :
The reaction I should have is not in your list: I’d look at the receptionist, smile thus showing my understanding of what is going on and calmly sit back down… reading on the book I brought with me. I’d state this way, I may be an outsider but you are not going to control me ^_^.,
Claire’s Comment establishes that, whatever the choice that she might make ( or that any of us might make in the situation) it will be ‘informed’ by two factors… a) our understanding of the other person and 2) our ‘understanding’ of our own desired outcome. And the Doctrine is there to broaden her range of action on both variables!
Molly, (in Commenting on ‘you want home fries with that French Toast?’):
“...a scott cooking and the lady at the cash register is a clark.
1. I don’t know what the roger would do, but though tempted to just fill out the application (because that is what I was directed to), I would clear tables first. I have worked in restaurants enough to know this is appreciated, and if I don’t get hired by the restaurant, maybe someone eating there will see my initiative and offer me a job.”
Molly knows that the likelihood of (her) success is based on recognizing the personality types of the people involved and factoring that into her plans. Now, for those who say, ‘big deal! everyone does that!…Fuck!’ Well, that is true, but the difference is that with the Wakefield Doctrine we not only know what their personality types is, we know how they are likely to respond to our choice(s) of action.
AKH: ( after reading, ‘Learn by Doing...’):
Hey! Yeah you reading this!
Obviously you’ve been reading the Doctrine enough to answer the true or false questions above. So don’t just answer them in your damn head. Share your answers with us. Or are you too afraid that you’ll be wrong?
I know you’ve got it in you. So come on for Christ’s sake…”the Delegate from the vibrant State of Scott Votes HTFU!” To counter-balance the analytical side of the clarks… a simple ‘Call to Action’ Long the foundation of all Sales, Persuasion and Education techniques, our Ms. AKH.
Of course DS#1 was contributing, managing Comments and writing ‘an Interview Post’ with the Progenitor roger, over at the Girlie. Good work, guys.
Excellent progress this week.
So for today, set aside all the “well if we can infer the…” and the “predilection of the scottian female…” and instead lets just kick back, enjoy our Lördag and get ready for next week.

Hey there! Excellent choice of music even though the “video doesn’t matter”. LOL A nice Sat. morning pickmeupit’sgonnabeadamnfineday little number.
Here is a simple, duh thing to remember (I am saying to myself):
…”with the Wakefield Doctrine we not only know what their personality types is, we know how they are likely to respond to our choice(s) of action.”
This is part of the equation that sometimes eludes my conscious mind. The knowing how they are likely to react. Over at my blog’s recent post, I responded to a comment left by one Ms. AKH. In my response, I referenced to interacting with a scott yesterday at work, as a scott. Or at least as scottian as is humanly possible (being a clark, armed with the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers!).
Setup: I am cashiering at the grocerystore. Next customer….I instantly recognize a scott (male). He made that quite apparent immediately! (Doctrine 101)!
At the beginning of my work day I had made a conscious choice to access my scottian self, found the “suit” and put it on. When this particular customer, the scott, approached to check out, both my actions and reactions were instantaneous, match for match scottian. Here’s the cool part. What I did not do during that encounter was consciously think “hm…wonder how he will react to a mirror image(metaphorically speaking)” ? Had I done that I would have let through my clarklike self, spoiled the moment and more likely than not had a completely different feeling at the completion of the transaction.
Geez, Louise…what am I trying to spit out?! The Doctrine is a practice/practical thing. It is a tool that has different components that can be learned piecemeal and then utilized in a broader sense. “No? Too convoluted? Let me try again…. please”
I am still learning the 2 other ways to view reality (with their myriad of nuances). Bottom line: there is a common reality and then there are the 3 distinct variations (of that reality). The 3 variations have 3 different, separate “emotional” origins. Damn, “emotional” probably isn’t the right word to use. Let’s try this one more time!!!!
I accessed my scottian self yesterday. I WAS scottian. I interacted with a scott as a scott. I knew at the conclusion of the transaction I was not food for the hungry scott. Without going into details, in the end I saw myself as “victor” of the encounter. I felt it. And it felt good :D
There is an energy required and indulged in, as a clark accessing the scottian part of herself, that is both exhilarating and exhausting. As much as I sometimes think I’d like to go vegetarian….I’m really a carnivore at heart!
OK here’s my comment so I can share the phone number to call tonight:
