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

Easy Monday, Simple Week’s Start.

(Excerpted from her Comment this weekend) Cynthia sez:

in the past we’ve talked about it, but it would be interesting to talk about how Clarks operate under sustained duress, how Rogers do and how Scotts do. I feel like clarks can move into their more unpredictable nature. Lol.

Astute oberservation, yo

New Readers? Cynthia asks a question about the value of the application of the principles of the Wakefield Doctrine in a most conducive (to examplification) manner. It, (her comment), also invites us to state one of the most critical Rules of our little personality theory, ‘the Everything Rule’¹.

Damn! We went on at length, (we trust you followed the note-of-feet to the discourse below, otherwise this little aside would make almost no sense), sharing with the New Readers here today on the ramifications of the Everything Rule and have done gone and used up our day’s word allocation!

We reserve the right to re-address our friends question tomorrow. aiiightt?

(Preview: C‘s question is not only useful from the perspective of undersstanding the Doctrine, but it hints at one the it’s more productive if not subtle elements. Don’t want to give it away. (Hint: It rhymes with: ‘Damn, I’d of done better if’n I was a (clark/scott/roger) in that situation.’)

(hey! hypo-youths! warning!! warning! ear worm ahead. (Thanks, adolescent clark, a lot for the eclectic taste in music)

1) from the very beginning of this here blog here, one of the most frequent questions from New Readers has has been:

“I get the whole each predominant worldview thing, one of my friends is fond of going up to total strangers when we’re out in public and talking to them like they’re either a favorite-but-distant cousin or an ex-girlfriend. This is surely something only a scott would do, am I right?”

You are (almost) right. The Everything Rule states: ‘Everyone does everything at one time or another‘.

What it means is that there is no aspect, element, predilection, habitual tropism or habit of human interaction that is exclusive to one of the three personality types of the Wakefield Doctrine. The Wakefield Doctrine is concerned with the human being. On the most basic level. As a lifeform, not as a male or female, old or young (lifeform), introvert or extravert, wallflower or kudzu vine. Since the Wakefield Doctrine is concerned with the character of an individual’s relationship with the world around them, i.e. as an Outsider(clark), Predator(scott) or Herd Member(roger), the correct way to frame the question is: “How does overly-exuberant socializing manifest in a scott?”

The key word/concept: manifest (to express, exhibit and otherwise engage in…)

ya know?
