Welcome to Wakefield Doctrine ( the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers )
There is an old saying, “the first 2 things you say about a person (or an idea), are actually the least important thing and it is, in fact, the 3rd thing that you say that is at the heart of how you feel” (about an idea..or a person).
The Wakefield Doctrine is… a way of classifying personalities, …it is a tool to understand the behavior of others and …it is a perspective on ourselves and the people in our lives. People we meet here at this blogsite… have questions …are curious (about what we are trying to do) and … enjoy sharing ways to implement the tool that the Doctrine represents. The driving force behind most Posts is the need… to produce new content on the subject of the Wakefield Doctrine, …to illustrate ways to derive a direct benefit from the knowledge of the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers and… bringing a life-map to those what are looking for one.
Recently, we have had a Reader, a certain TonyB (from over at ‘the BlogCatalog’) ask the question, “What is the Doctrine about?”
While we always look forward to reading what people say about/ask about the Wakefield Doctrine, this one is the question that causes the greatest concern. You might even say that this particular question is the spiritual opposite of the time-honored semantic trap, ” Tell me, do you still beat your wife/cheat on your husband?”
After all, the considerable effort to put up this web site and (to) write these Posts and (to) provide information is all in the service of a single idea, i.e. ‘getting as many people in the world to know about the Wakefield Doctrine as possible in the shortest period of time’. So when we have a Reader write (lol) we are excited (happy) and when we read the actual question being asked, we are excited (concerned). The first thing that we thought when reading the question that TonyB (from the Blogcatalog) wrote was, ‘just how badly are we explaining this very simple concept’?
If, TonyB (from the Blogcatalog), himself a writer of blogs, cannot figure out how the Doctrine works from reading it, what chance does an average person have to understand and enjoy the usefulness and fun that the Wakefield Doctrine offers?
(seeing how DownSpring glenn and DS#1 are into the ‘pome thing’, (with all their cutlets and rhyme-schemes and such), if I may):
there once was a lad from the Vinyard
who looked, as a child only inward
if I find the other two
I will know what to do
so the Wakefield Doctrine was authored
Alright already! We had better go easy on the artsy stuff or we surely will hear from a roger (or two) and god knows what our newest scottian FOTD (Friend of the Doctrine) Alex will write if he thinks we’re ‘gettin soft on them Readers…ya gotta make ’em sit up and pay attention!! ( HEY!!).

A positive thing this – that people are asking what’s it all about Alfie.
I find the Wakefield Doctrine fun (and challenging), enlightening and for me, frightening all at the same time. The fun part? Take yesterday. [While in the midst of attempting to change my timeline to reflect what it used to be once upon I time, I find myself working as a supermarket cashier. (retail is such the purview of rogers). ] A short older woman, let’s say in her 70’s (with black hair no less and not a hint of white) puts her few items on the belt. Among her purchases are 2 small bags of candy. I greet her in my smiley, sweet, yet sincere way. She says nothing but looks directly at me while she opens one of the the bags of candy.(the caramels with the white middle) I look directly back at her and, as she puts a piece of candy in her mouth, say “so, you want to buy that bag of candy?”. I thought it was funny. My point? #1) I recognized an old scott and automatically reacted to her challenge by #2) asking her if she wanted to buy the candy, which by all accounts is not necessarily a clarklike thing to do. (obviously she was going to buy the candy)
The Wakefield Doctrine allows me to amuse myself at work while I practice and improve my (Doctrine) “chops” ……blah, blah, blah…..
And so The Wakefield Doctrine was begin-yard
Was TonyB really asking questions, or just looking for readers? I get stupid comments quite frequently, and all they are is a form of spam… You can tell the person didn’t read anything.
On the other hand, he appears very roger to me, at first glance.
…’begin-yard”…good one Lenn:)
ok…before anyone gets too “moon in joon” on us, not sure why I included the little pome, one of those moments when writing the Posts (that frequently happens) ( …”psst hey clark….write a limerick thats what they really want to see you write…go ahead I dare ya“)
not a big fan
words they might rhyme
why am I bothering
just wasting your thyme
Y’all are listening to Ida while reading this right?….Right?…..LOL
@ Molly I think he was genuinely interested…but this place (‘the internets’) is so… damned ephemeral, interest now…move on to the next… even the process of putting an idea (like the Doctrine) into this type of environment suffers from the same lack of solidity*. But he, (TonyB), is very active over at a place called BlogCatalog… (we have a slight prescence there)…but it, (like ‘the Facebook’), is predominately rogerian in tone…feel…whatever the word is
still working on this week’s Video Friday…will follow up later…work now (lol)
YO! DS! Still waiting for Ida….
oops…. make that “The Lady”
guess i should have paid more attention to the video. lol
