Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Sure, five minutes seems like enough time to write something that, in the course of the day ahead, will prompt the Reader to say, “Of course! How did they know?!”
(Full Disclosure: taking four minutes to survey the Doctrine in my head… hold on.)
Identifying the predominant worldviews in the people around us, rated on degree of inverse difficulty*
- scotts (Predator): ’cause of the eyes! You can identify them from a fricken photo! In person? always moving from group to group and, individually? Never, never not ‘paying attention to their surroundings. always alert (on one level or another)
- clarks(Outsider): second easiest…provided you care to find them (lol and there is the best description of their social presence
- rogers(Herd Members): being 2/3s of the general population, you’d think they’d be easiest but you’d be wrong.. easy to mis-identify
Done
* remember the Everything Rule!**
** and… and the the fact that we can have a significant secondary aspect which is like stopping at a restaurant in a strange town as we drive cross country… doesn’t change who we are…’ceptin maybe to those we tell the story
Five Minute Friday – Wakefield Doctrine… dig it (as the old timers once said) 😁
Succinct. CSR’s in bullet point, brief. Check.
Lyrics. Why do I “hear” them today? Huh.
Thanks for the post, Clark!
Always nice to get another pointer or three about application.
fun and useful!
