Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) Personal Relationship Advice Post (slash) Guide.

This is the second in the series of really-trying-to-get-found-by-search-engines Posts,  with all the keywords in the title and all.  Hey, you want to hear something odd?  (yeah, ok…odder) The Post that is ‘the landing page’ that Readers get here by lately is the “One, Two, Three, Four Can I have  a little more”  Post. Wish I knew why that was,  I would write 6 more of ’em and we would be damn popular.

The Relationship Advice that the Wakefield Doctrine has, offers everyone something different. Well, it offers everyone three different things….( jeez!  all right!  ) … the Wakefield Doctrine  offers everyone three intertwined viewpoints that are related, but in practical terms, comprise three totally different personality types.  (You people got that? can we please move on now? I do have a life and it is not getting any longer… )
(All kidding aside), the above illustrates the challenge inherent in any theory of personality,  that is predicated on knowing the frame of reference  of the subject. This, in contrast, to the many personality theories that simply are a laundry list of actions, behaviors, traits and tendencies. They have it totally easy, all they do is say look at this list and pick which most describes you. Like you’re gonna pick the traits that are in conflict with your self-image! Even here, at the blog of the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers, people are people and if you read a description of a persoanlity type that you think is not complimentary, you are probably not going to sign up under the  “loves children, gets off on the suffering of others, cherishes family but does not like to share, self-conscious to near autistic levels” category, are you now?

Here at the Wakefield Doctrine, we got you covered! You do not have to describe yourself, all you have to do is describe the world. The world that you experience, the world that you live in, the real world. Gots nothing to do with you, nothing personal,  all we need to know is what type of environment do you wake up to each and every morning? Here, try this:

The world is:

• a puzzle, full of things that are interesting and people who are relating to each other in a way that is just out of reach, almost but not quite understandable
• a challenge, invigorating, everything and everyone is in motion, every detail is important if it is moving towards you, so does not matter if it is moving away…
• makes sense, what are you saying what is the world like? it is that it is..
• full of people, they sound like people you could relate to if only you knew more
• food, shelter sex
• tradition, stability, continuity
• where the joy of life lies in the simple things, the hunt…the chase…the pre-kill…the kill…
• knowledge like a crossword puzzle, you know everything is supposed to fit together, you really don’t think they put in random pieces, but sometimes….maybe they did…
• the beauty of  people as they learn about how they can work together and that rules when followed are not rules, they are as it must have been meant to be…

See?  Wasn’t that better? The 3 personality types of the Wakefield Doctrine are described in this short list. The beauty part is that it is not about you, it is about the world. No one here is put on the spot to reveal what they think is the right way to act, at risk of looking like a loser. NO. We simply say, tell us what the world looks like to you and we can tell you which of the three types of personality you are,  a clark or a scott or a roger.
Pretty simple, isn’t it?

(Speaking of pretty simple.  Ms. AKH raised a question about the scottian character that is actually kinda of informative…in a simple.. scottian way, nothing overly complicated but an interesting illustration of one of the basic ( have I used the word simple too much yet)…quality of the scottian personality..let’s listen in…)

… scotts respond on instinct which is both their strength and their total weakness…strength because of the speed of response, weakness because of the simple matter that just as scotts are comfortable being submissive, providing that they know their ranking, they (scotts) have a point of give up that makes them the easiest of prey…

…scotts are COMFORTABLE being submissive? the easiest of prey?! do tell…

 …stand by that statement… it has to do with the concept of ranking. Ranking for a scott is as critical to the well-being of a scott as does the presence of the herd for a roger…
the clue to this (being true) is that this ‘submissiveness’ is only to a dominant equal

…thank you for clarifying this for our new readers
