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

The first bloghop we participated in, as we sat in the gigantic, (metaphorical), high school cafeteria, staring at the plastic tray of uneaten food like guest of the Spanish Inquisition allowed a few moments to survey the torture chamber that was his last known address, was Finish the Sentence Friday.

It was one of the top five best things we’ve done since puberty. It, (the bloghop, not puberty), led directly to most of the friends we’ve been fortunate to have been associated with, here in the virtual world. We could list them all, suffice to say, they led to where we are today, in the blogosphere.

Hey! A scene from a YA story! aka Girl-as-far-out-of-our-league-as-possible-in-the-Goldingesque-social-island-of-high-school (‘I have an order for a new jaw… is there someone in the over-worked lit construct who has dropped their….‘) lol. ok. I’ll step away from the keyboard now.

Hey! Kristi yo, ‘sup?

The normal approach to this type of reprint-based post is go all blockquote on a copy/paste chunk of words, a leaf-and-small-stones-and-whatever-dirt-didn’t-brush-off offering to the tribe as a solo hunting trip. However, but my rogerian tertiary aspect is, this morning, a bit more active than normal. So we will, instead of pasting copy, place the link right here:

‘Fin Sen Fri’ (from March 3, 2018)

For anyone relatively new to the Doctrine, (Hey! Nick…Chris…jenne…Ford), besides the business of personality types being called predominant worldviews, (aka personal realities), which we all are possessed by, the Wakefield Doctrine maintains that we never lose the potential of ‘the other two'(worldviews. Having the predominant worldview of a clark (Outsider), means that the reality out there* this morning is of the character that caused me to develop the traits and tropisms, social strategies and phobia that identify me (in terms of the Doctrine) as a clark. I do have a significant secondary scottian aspect and a minor rogerian tertiary. These (roles of ‘the other two’ worldviews) varies from person to person. In some they are negligible, in others, well, damn! (Example: Jimi Hendrix a predominant worldview of a clark, a rather significant secondary scottian aspect.) In most cases the secondary and tertiary aspects are in the background until a situation involving higher, maybe even extreme stress are encountered. Then they show. Then, the alarm bells stop screaming and the fire is contained, they disappear. This accounts for why people sometimes appear to be more than one personality type.

The goal of the Wakefield Doctrine is to develop a tool which allows us to develop our secondary and tertiary aspects.

* ha! one of my favorite ‘if you identify with this, you might be…’ thing. Most clarks, especially upon waking, describe the world that awaits them as being located, ‘out there’. (As opposed to…well, not positioning oneself as, somehow, separate and apart from…) lol you’re right, we are talking about clarks.
