Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
We interrupt this Reprint post to say, ‘Damn! we’re finding nothing but reprint posts as we search for a post to….err reprint!’
That can mean only one of two things:
- We’re in a time-loop*
- We’re in a loop of time
ha ha
This phenomenon can only be the universe frowning on my video from this weekend’s TToT in which we went at semi-length to express how it has, ‘never-been-work-to-write-for-this-blog’, these past twelve or thirteen years.
The Wakefield Doctrine is a perspective and, as such, is both a tool and a toy. (And one might argue that many toys are inspired by tools. But that’s not important right now.)
The Doctrine maintains that there are three relationships that can exist between the individual and the world in which they exist. (There is more to it than that, of course. We step into life with the potential to find ourselves in one (and only one) of these three realities. Our ‘personality types’ are but a best effort to develop social strategies and skills for inter-relating based on the world, as we experience it.)
Thing of it is, from the Doctrine perspective, our relationship with the world around us and the people who make it up, totally fits into the three personality types (aka predominant worldviews). Therefore by recognizing the reality another person is experiencing, we’re in a position to know how they’ll react to a given situation and the nature and character of the choices they will make. In other words, unless this other person is also a student of our little personality theory, you can know more about the other person than they know about themselves.
Pretty cool, non?
The three worldviews:
- clarks (Outsiders) abhor being the center of attention, will not tolerate being ignored. Never encountered a novel fact that they weren’t, to some extent, grateful for uncovering. (The key verb: uncovering. Can’t be much of a secret if it’s, like, out in the open, now can it?)
- scotts (Predators) a scott, alone in a room, isn’t. An unofficial motto, (as mottos are for rogers and clarks), ‘I scream, therefore I am’. All great leaders are scotts, civilizations somehow, most of the time, survive them.
- rogers (Herd Members) the Universe is both quantifiable and knowable. If it can’t be completely and explicitly described in an owner’s manual, it probably isn’t very important. The Herd exists as both an extension of the individual and a necessary context. There is a Right Way and there are lesser ways.
Enough for the moment.

Hi there! Coming to you from Scribd. Hope everyone is fulfilling the, um, expectations (?) of each😉.
I clicked on an article online that I wanted to read, and it brought me to Scribd. My account and documents are still there, but I couldn’t do anything but read. So I sub”Scribd” (minimal cost – it used to be free). I was looking at my account stats,… Can’t believe my first
Okay I’m back.
Can’t believe my first document uploaded to Scribd was on July 1, 2011, and the last July 30, 2012. Almost 10 years ago!!! I came here from the
Sorry, I’m back. Shit. I’d like to finish this damn comment before tomorrow… Plus, I need to get back to where I came from. That would be reading the other 12 tabs that I have open from going down the rabbit hole. I find myself there a lot… 🙄
Anyway, I came here from the most read (160) document: “The Modern Day Enneagram 9 Personality Type Theory: The Wakefield Doctrine (The Theory of Clarks, Scotts and Rogers)” “https://www.scribd.com/document/66468807/The-modern-day-Enneagram-9-Personality-Type-Theory-The-Wakefield-Doctrine-the-theory-of-clarks-scotts-and-rogers”
Must have been the word “Enneagram” that got ’em… lol
The creation, and spreading to websites, of my blog on WordPress and was due to the encouragement by clarkscottroger. I spent a lot of time writing those documents, and I really enjoyed it. The Wakefield Doctrine changed my perspective, wait that’s not correct. It IS your perspective. It changed my take on people. Opened my eyes. Amazingly accurate. For newcomers, stick with it!!!
Well, that’s all I got. Just wanted to give you a heads up clarkscottroger and say Hi! to all. Hope everyone is well.
Damn, I guess I should this post that I am commenting on, eh?
Hey, ho! AKH!
Yeah, that Time Math, she’s a bitch.
Cool. You, among a handful of people will enjoy the change (and hopefully, improvement) in the writing found in these here posts here. And, while I do add my name to the theory, it is all about perspective. Or, more properly, one more, additional perspective on the world around us and the people who make it up.
Everone is as well as can be expected of the hypo-youthful lifeforms what hung out at the Doctrine (and on the Saturday Night Drive… ya oughta call in some Saturday)
“(The key verb: uncovering. Can’t be much of a secret if it’s, like, out in the open, now can it?)”
