‘show, don’t tell’ Monday -the Wakefield Doctrine- ‘no, it’s not your average life-hack/personality theory’

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

see the man in the photo*  below:

like we need to tell you which of the three personality types….

like we need to tell you which of the three personality types….

Any questions?

The ‘show, don’t tell’ reference? I spend a lot of time explaining the characteristics of the three worldviews and try to provide pointers on making an identification of a person’s predominant worldview ( is he a clark, does she exhibit the signs of being a scottian woman…. oh man! what a roger!), but then there are moments such as occurred this weekend, when I opened the boating magazine, turned the pages and came upon the above photo. at the risk of ‘telling’ and thereby depriving Readers of the direct experience (of ‘seeing’ a roger), I will simply say, the article that the photo is a part of, was about the boat, not the man.
So I came upon the photo and I stopped. Then I took the magazine into the kitchen and, without a word, held it up (open to this photo) in front of Phyllis and said nothing. She laughed.**

…god! I love this here Doctrine here.

*** good point, Lizzi….. ‘scotts are looking at the photographer….’  lol

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

      eggzactly…. our boy is totally voguing, he is so cool (the magazine story: the guy driving renovated the boat, so naturally the pictures and very naturally the guy assumes that it’s him we want to look at, not the boat. in. a. boating.magazine

      • zoebyrd says:

        I intially thought the same as Lizzi then I thought ” he thinks we’re looking at him!” and he revealed himself a roger!

        • clarkscottroger clarkscottroger says:

          totally agree, (with one modification to your statement…) “he assumes we’re looking at him”

    If it was a lone scott, he/she would be standing up. Or doing something!
