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

What good is all this?

…. meaning, the amazing consistency of behavior to type, the congruence of predicated characteristics to actual elements in reality. You know, ‘how true the three personality types are to the experience we have in the ‘real’ world’.

A lot of good if you’re a clark. Less, if you’re a scott or a roger, depending on the level of significance of your secondary and tertiary aspects.

Tell you what, being Monday, lets keep it simplest.

The Wakefield Doctrine is a tool. And, just like the saw and the plane, and, even the raw wood itself, they are not the hand-fashioned chair or chest-of-drawer, that is the product of skilled effort. As a tool, the Doctrine provides one more perspective on ourselfs, the world around us and the people who make it up. And, as anyone will tell you, the more perspectives, the better.

So, lets conclude this post with a fun little bullet-point list of things the Wakefield Doctrine is and isn’t, (and, it behooves all of us to help the secondary/tertiary aspect-challenged among the people around us to work through this):

• the Wakefield Doctrine is for you, not them
• the Wakefield Doctrine is not an Answer, (if you’re smart and lucky), however, it provides a bunch of useful Questions
• the goal of the Doctrine is to better understand how we relate ourselves to the world around us
• …and, in doing so, (or even the mere effort), we can see the world as the other person is experiencing it

Thats all for this morning…

Gots me a song in my head, it’ll help if I post it (misery shared is misery diminished) and let it play in your heads all day.

…thanks
