Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
The Wakefield Doctrine:
| is… | is not… |
| a tool | the Answer |
| fun | work |
| interesting | boring |
| an insight into the behavior of others | a club to be used with good intentions |
| for you | for them |
| a way to see the world | a way to hide from the world |
| unique | like those other personality systems |
| a way to self improve yourself | prove yourself to them |
| a way to get that girl to…. | a way to get away from that guy |
| good for classroom work | good for homework |
| a way to understand behavior | kid yourself about your own behavior |
| a perspective | a reason |
| easy to learn | hard to learn |
| for everyone | for everyone |
So hey! just let us know how you’d like to see the Doctrine help you and we’ll totally let you know how to use this thing.



My favorite being the way it is for people to see each other’s good intentions!
Look at you, all organized with a chart! I do find it interesting and fun, yet I’m still working on the understanding part of it. I have yet to grasp what a roger is. Mostly because I haven’t really tried. Surprised? :)

no! lol (but for a reason that I won’t offer, ’cause it would make it sound more difficult than it really is*. You ‘see’ the clarks and you see the (other) scotts… rogers? everyone else)
* not a bad or weird thing, just potentially confusing
Insight and self-improvement. Because I’m enjoying seeing the latter happen…
Lizzi
Totally agree with that! the more we use it, the more better we get at using it…lol
A way to get that girl to….what? Do the dishes? Shine yer shoes? Break dance? Hmmmm, the possibilities are endless.
:) Very interesting list. Me likey. So what do the Super Heroes at the top have to do with the list? If one of them were a Clark, which one would it be? Robin?

lol (…welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine)
Actually the photos have nothing (directly) to do with the Doctrine… I feel I have been successful in image selection when, after writing and publishing the Post, I go back and: a) laugh or 2) mutter “what the hell is that doing there?”
even if it IS unrelated ya gotta love the SuperFriends… I find myself still struggling (for lack of a better word) with identifying traits of the big three…I guess because everyone is so interchangeable…
Mr. Kent would be the Clark right…lol….ugh…
zoe
try this: (all people develop coping strategies, in reflection of the reality that they exist in: clarks think, scotts act and rogers feel)
or
clarks are Outsiders, scotts are Predators and rogers are Herd Members
