Monday and the Wakefield Doctrine ‘…something old, something new, something made up, something true’

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

this is actually Una in Frankfort, Germany. a lay-over on her trip from the Czech Republic to Hope Valley

There are two things I would like to accomplish with today’s Post:

  1. explain the Wakefield Doctrine in such a way that a first time reader will understand how to apply the principles in their life today and benefit
  2. show the experienced Readers and DownSprings a new way to see/understand/apply or otherwise advance their  appreciation of the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers
  3. to make sure everyone reading this also go to our Friends blogs as they approach the end of the monthathon ‘A-who-Me?’ blog challenge

Lets get started!

The Wakefield Doctrine is a perspective on behavior. It is predicated on the idea that we all grow-up(from around age 3 to 5 or so), develop and live in one of three (characteristically distinct) worldviews, the reality of the Outsider (clarks), the life of the Predator (scotts) and the world of the Herd Member (rogers). We are all born with the capacity to live in any of the these three and, while only one worldview is the reality we live in (the predominant worldview), we never lose the potential to see and respond as do the ‘other two’. Set that aside for now.

It is by learning the characteristics of the these three worldviews that we are able to understand how the other person ‘relates themselves to the world around them’. To learn how to benefit from our little personality theory, spend some time learning about: the world of the Outsiders, the clarks, who you will come to know as the person who is always there, but hardly ever noticed (clarks are: the helpful, quiet person who are more than happy to take the photos of everyone having fun, they are the girl who wears really outré clothes that seem to elicit an odd sense of recognition ( in fact, the recognition of elements of fashion that has not yet become mainstream, ‘something vu’); the always-exicting scotts (the Predators), these are the people you will most likely recognize first and they will also be the personality type that will cause the most difficulty in distinguishing from a roger (in certain circumstances), the scott is the go getter, the head cheerleader (until she is removed for …excessivity in the new routines lol), he is the natural joke teller, the class clown and the guy who can set you up with someone/anyone, they (scotts) are mercurial in temperament, forceful in loyalty and totally deficient in introspection, they are fun, and make the legal fees and/or expulsion from school almost seem worth it all; rogers: they are all around you, the Herd is everywhere, nearly 2/3s of the population are rogers (mostly because the requirement for membership in the Herd is so… non-challenging) they are the people in style, the ones most likely to be voted most likely to succeed and they do, in no small part due to their innate talent for projecting emotion: rogers are natural storytellers, engineers, prosecuting attorneys and cult leaders, they offer the gift of belonging at no cost, provided you never forget who invited you, they are those guys who ride expensive bicycles while wearing spandex covered with corporate logos, they are the successful Facebook group promoters who don’t mind sharing how much everyone loves them.

This is the Wakefield Doctrine. Learn it. Use it. Have fun with it.

Hey!!  Followers and readers and all? You kids in the back of the bus who spent the previous two paragraphs yelling out things like,  “hey!! tell about the roe-gers  georgie  tell about the roegers”  and “hey Mister Doctrine are we there yet?!?!”  Thanks for your support…  lol  your section of this Post will have to wait until midday. Gotta go pay some bills. Stay calm and someone keep that scott from getting us banned or arrested while we continue with our recruitment drive.

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

    This made me laugh quite hard this morning. On Saturday night, my mom, 3 soccer moms and I went out to dinner at Olive Garden while our boys were at a pro game with the dads. We were cut off and basically told to leave because there was a complaint about our loud behavior. Between everyone laughing at the stories I was telling, and the other scott in our group grabbing prom kids to show off their dresses for us, I guess we were annoying other diners. None of us have ever been kicked out of a place before, and we weren’t even tipsy, let alone drunk!
    Thought you’d get a kick out of the fact that you were, once again, right. :)
