News and attractions, 3 personality types and endless fun at: the Wakefield Doctrine

August 29, 2011 By clarkscottroger

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

An unusual ‘night-time’ Post today, the recent hurricane has resulted in no internet access in my normal writing place. No lights, no music, so rather than wait for the power to come to me, I have gone to the power. While a brief, ‘hey! we have not dissappeared’ Post, with any luck normalcy will be restored soon and we can get back to our regular schedule of Posts.

That actually is the topic of this Post! Coming Attractions at the Wakefield Doctrine!!!

We have heard from Claire and we have heard from Nell!! They have their hats! In Sweden and England, respectively, we have one photo from Claire and Nell is getting hers to us straightway (I can say that, ’cause Nell is from the UK). We will do a separate Post for each in the next week or so! Transcontinental headwear, how damn cool is that? And, even for me there is excitement waiting for the photos because we all know that these Wakefield Doctrine hats are not your normal hats!! No! That would be a mistake to assume that assumption. Wakefield Doctrine hats are delivered with the Right of Hat built right in! (New Readers should follow the link and read all about the Treaty of Tordesillas).

In a couple of weeks, the Doctrine will be on the road again! We have our trusty video camera, a supply of hats and are aiming ourselfs at the Mississippi Delta. That is correct, you read that properly, the Wakefield Doctrine is going down to the crossroads. I plan to claim both putative crossroads, but if there are any Readers in the vicinity of Highway 61 come the second week of September, you need to write us a Comment and we just might come and hand you a Wakefield Doctrine hat ( for your damned head). Yessir!

And as you observant Readers can see, our blog roll is growing! And if they are on our blogroll, you can bet your life that there is something damn interesting at the other other end of the (hyper)link. So go visit Claire (for a touch of the Internationale) or spend some time at Nell’s Hub Page (variety and range? damn! ). If you are hankering for some of the old ‘what did she say’? …best slide on down to the GirlShow, or for a ‘wake-up call’…Doctrine-style, stop by AKH’s saloon. (Best pay attention, is all I’m sayin). The Progenitor roger is always a good read, and Bobbi Stoker, well we haven’t talked to her in a while but, go on over, say hidy! For that matter if you want to go to a blog where you can actually learn useful stuff, then Ronin’s is the place to be. If you are bored, or just want to pass a little time with cool people, try Molly over at ‘the Facebook’, tell her the Doctrine sent ya.

(….So we need to get out, kill some bees so I can have some candles to light my way home.)

Seeing how most of you won’t be reading this for another 12 hours, I will try to address the topic: Natural Disasters and the 3 personality types of the Wakefield Doctrine.

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

Allow us the opportunity for a brief recapitualtion ¹ of the points that were re-iterated in this Video, which in turn was a reflection of current thinking about our Wakefield Doctrine blog.

Did I say, ‘a brief recapitulation’ ? Damn, I better get to it! Those of you reading this at 6:00 EDST or later should ‘refresh’ the screen before you leave, seeing how I am writing this as you read it! Thats it! A collaborative blog Post!!! goddamn jeez!!

Hey, if you are reading this now, (wait a minute, I got to save what I have written so far, so you can participate….) OK the theme of this Post is as follows:

the Wakefield Doctrine blog is attracting people who not only have an interest in the Doctrine but a strong point of view, combined with the ability to express (these views) and therefore are challenging the status quo of the work that is being done to promote the Wakefield Doctrine
this ‘new thought’ is totally beneficial to this blog and at the same time is causing some degree of discomfort on the part of the editorial aspect
we have to not only expand the vision of this Doctrine, but open our minds to new and varied ways to present the principles underlying this here personality theory here

So write to us and we will simply paste it into this Post…you have the floor.

Wait a damn minute!! Forget the collaborative Post, I just receieved two emails from Claire and Nell to inform us that they have their Wakefield Doctrine hats !!²
Can I get a Yesir!!
We totally look forward to photos of said hats on these fine (damn) heads. And y’all better get out your geography books, and globes and atlii and such, ’cause as we all know there is the Right of Hat now in the hands of the two newest friends of this here Doctrine here!

2) big shout out and thanks for AKH catching missing word…thanks

Read-(along) Video Friday!! Audio? (we don’t need no steekin audio): the Wakefield Doctrine (and) the Truth about People

August 26, 2011 By clarkscottroger

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

(the sound lack of sound?) (Don’t let that distress you, this is still Video Friday) (just with audio)…..(and, I guess with the video) (too)

(if you just keep looking at the screen, make like this is a normal Friday Post) …(we should be able to pull this off)
(….(what?) (yes, we suppose you could play an old Video Friday while you read this) …(that would decrease the risk that someone will notice something odd)……(roger)

(for the clarks (and the exceptionally bored scotts) out there, here’s the deal) (:) (no new Video for today’s Video Friday) ) (hey, wanna keep it down?) (for the benefit of the clarklike readers, we will try to explain) (what? yeah the poor rogers are starting to develop stomach cramps and considering the monastery as a career choice…hold on).

“AND THEREFORE, IN THE RICH TRADITION OF THE FAMILY HISTORY OF THE WOODCARVERS OF THE WOODED VALLEYS OF THE MIDDLE OF THE REGION…WE CAN FOLLOW THE SPUD CLAN THROUGH A DAY OF ROUTINE, BICKERING, MILD CONFLICT AND JEALOUSLY-GUARDED PETTINESS” !

(alright, that should hold the rogers) (this Post?) (2 reasons)(:)

(major increase in ‘real life’ work demands)
(interesting changes in the work required to produce theses Posts)
(well, I suppose ‘no one to interview’ can be considered a reason)

(however it is reason (2) that is most interesting) (with addition of new clarks to the WD campus what used to be considered useable is no longer enough) (apparently) (what? yeah hold on…)

“….AND THROUGHOUT THE DAY, THE PATRIARCHAL FATHER FIGURE IMPOSES HIS WILL ON HIS NEEDLESSLY COMPLIANT WIVES AND MANY CHILDREN!”

(in any event, success alters the process which (at least temporarily) appears to alter the goal of an effort like the wakefield doctrine). (to put in simpler terms, with (‘)(only)(‘) akh and ds#1 to challenge the thinking and expressing of the wakefield doctrine, I managed to keep up with their output and still manage to produce Posts that had a certain….(look)…(feel)…sound. (all of which is/was/would not a bad (thing/state/quality)….however (lol hold on)

“HEY ROGER, DID YOU EVER HEAR THE EXPRESSION: THE ONLY CONSTANT IS CHANGE???”

(…no, that wasn’t kind) (in any event, with Nell and Molly and (especially) Claire…more energy is required to keep up (with them) and that has appeared to (cause me) to have to increase my own efforts/which accounts for me being (metaphorically) (‘) (out of) (fuckin) (breath)(‘) (lol)…and this applies not only to (‘)(keep up with them)(‘) but to look at/assess/evaluate what we are producing here and (god-I-hate-this-expression) ‘take the Wakefield Doctrine’ to the next level) ( )

(ok…this is long enough to account for a regular Video Friday) (lets bring the kids back).

So the Wakefield Doctrine ( the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers ) is a tool for those people who have a genuine desire to understand the behavior of the people in their lives. Whether you have a spouse or a friend or a brother or a mother that has you asking yourself, “No, why on earth would they go and act like that’? The Wakefield Doctrine can help you. It is also a way to change the things about yourself that you have been un-sucessful at changing, the Doctrine has what no other form of self-help, self-improvement or any other system can offer. And if you simply want to have an edge, the Wakefield Doctrine can do that too!

clarks: change the things that you really want to change
scotts: get an edge on everyone and have more fun doing it!
rogers: this will bring people to you, while you gain an understanding of how the rules apply to other people

Le stade du miroir comme formateur des la fonction du Je*… and the Wakefield Doctrine (uh oh…non-native language Post Titles, that can’t be good.)

August 24, 2011 By clarkscottroger

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

There are points in the development of: a) ourselves as functioning, healthy humans b) a theory to account for the structure of what most call personality and/or c) the skill-set upon which (we) would launch our efforts to explain the subjective existance to those who remain primarily in the the objective (world). Today’s Post is one of those Posts.
Readers of the Wakefield Doctrine are familiar with the recurring theme, i.e. what good is the Wakefield Doctrine if it cannot be explained in terms that all three personality types can ‘understand’? Essentially our quandary is this:

the Wakefield Doctrine holds that we all have the capacity to experience the world in one of three characteristic ways, as a clark or a scott or a roger. But it (the Doctrine) maintains that at an early age, (lets say between 3 and 5 years old), we settle on one of the three and become a clark or a scott or a roger. That we (retain) the ‘other two’ is evidenced by the fact that most people, when first introduced to the Wakefield Doctrine will say, ‘OK I seem to be mostly a roger, but sometimes I know I must be a scott’. That is because they are…
But our quandary is this: each of the three types speak a language of their own,

a (clark) will speak with (parentheses),

a scott will SPEAK! with force and empah..emafa…Loud! with those exclams!!! and

rogers well to do justice to the style of most rogers we need to appreciate the rich tapestry of tradition and hand-me-downs

Clearly a scott has little patience for involved and intra-qualified statements and a roger, while able to deal with the complex and subtle, usually does not perceive what a clark says as being ‘useful’. Clearly we have a problem.

Our boy Jacques may be of help, unfortunately he is:

a little, shall we say roundabout, dense and hard to understand
trapped in a level and quality of rhetoric and discourse that does not translate well
limited by the number of ibids and op cits we have on hand
dead

So, once again we are on our own. Our solution to the problem of inter-type communication is simply to become tri-lingual. (yeah, scott we also join you in your appreciation of the funny words). Until we stumble upon the Langue universelle or become fluent in scottian and rogerian, we will perforce resort to repetition.

Brutal self-assessment, the Wakefield Doctrine and the Personality of Michele Bachmann

August 21, 2011 By clarkscottroger

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

(apologies to fans of Michele Bachmann, but while we fully intend to forward a White Paper on the benefits of the Wakefield Doctrine to the Bachmann campaign, we do not, as yet have her total and full endorsement. Stay tuned…)

The Wakefield Doctrine is a way of thinking about how people act and behave.

There surely are better ways to describe what the Wakefield Doctrine is, for example we could easily say, ‘the Wakefield Doctrine is a theory of personality’, or perhaps it would be best to ask a question, ‘Did you know about this real effective approach called the Wakefield Doctrine, it is a highly effective program to build and strengthen your confidence‘, hell, for that matter we could even say something like, “Have I got a system of self-development, you won’t believe how efficacious it can be! It’s everything you can ask for from a personality assessment paradigm”!
Now, the marketing faction within our group is of the opinion that the only sensible choice (of descriptions of the Doctrine) is the latter. They say this is because, to make it big in the internet, they believe, you have to position yourself so that people browsing the web will find you no matter what they are looking for, and that means having the right keywords and tags and meta-tarsels. This is necessary, the marketing faction says, because no matter how good the Doctrine, if nobody hears about the Doctrine, they sure ain’t gonna learn about what it can do for them. And subsequently, they damn sure ain’t be buyin no hats (for their damn heads) or even the real cool Tee Shirts. So, says this element of our group, lets get this blog in front of the maximum number of people and then worry about how to show them that the Wakefield Doctrine is so damn good.

There is another faction within the group of DownSprings and Progenitors, who are all of the mindset, “screw the computer stuff!! Make it exciting, stir them up, YELL at the Readers…grab them by the ears and eyes and the rest will follow. There is nothing truer than the fact that when it comes to sales and selling, it is the sizzle that sells, not the steak! People buy on emotion and justify on logic…hook ’em now and we’ll figure out the rest later…don’t over think it”!!

(If you need to be told which represents the rogerian element and which is the scottian element, then perhaps you should spend a little time with the basics, which reminds me of the Post that I wrote that was built on the idea that I had to describe/explain the Wakefield Doctrine in 25 words or less…and I did…damn that was a long time ago. Sorry, where were we?)

So, the message we are trying to convey with today’s Post and (with) the blessing of not only Michele Bachmann but Sarah Palin and them, is this:

The Wakefield Doctrine is more about the world and reality than it is about individual people. Most self-improvement programs and personality theories concentrate on defining the person (who is seeking help), as the starting point. They begin the process with, “OK tell us everything about yourself”. It is clear that (these other theories and programs) believe that the problem you are looking for help with is coming from you! Here at the Wakefield Doctrine we take the opposite approach.
The Doctrine says, “Hey, everyone you meet will be existing in one of three ‘realities’, whether you understand the Wakefield Doctrine or not. The world of people that you spend today living in, (be it the reality experienced as a clark or the one the scott lives in or the world rogers spend their lives in) is something that you can understand! If you understand the world that the other people in your life are experiencing, then you will understand why they act the way that they do. And if you still have frustrations and can’t get what you really want, then you can understand better the world that you are living in and change it. All this is a part of what the Wakefield Doctrine offers people. And while it may seem that it is tricky to learn about clarks and scotts and rogers and you start to feel that you are either some personality type that the Doctrine has not discovered yet or, much more likely you are just being stubborn and stupid, you still don’t have to worry! The people in your world? They will still be a clark or a scott or roger when you do figure it out! So relax and have fun.

The message of today’s Post is simply this: Don’t worry about whether or not you understand the Wakefield Doctrine. It is enough that the Wakefield Doctrine understands you!

tell ’em Keith!
