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

Where were we?

oh yeah, here:

So to the three moving parts:

1. clarks (the Outsider)
2. scotts (the Predator)
3. rogers (the Herd Member)

We are, all of us, born with the innate predisposition to relate to the world in one of three manners/styles/character. And these three ‘styles’ (that other ‘normal’ personality typing schemes and theories refer to as ‘personality type’) we call, ‘predominant worldviews’. Ever body’s got one. And, as a bonus, we never lose the potential of ‘the other two’. The two that did not manifest as our personality type remain a potential influence on our lifes and behavior)

Three personality types. Three ways to relate (ourselfs) to the world around us. Three (well, actually two. But we were really enjoying the anaphora…lol) instances where the secret to understanding (and being understood) lies in being fluent in two (very) foreign languages.

Intrigued?

Congratulations! You are demonstrating certain qualities that those who have come to this blog and stayed were possessed …of errr by.

Whatever.

ProTip: You know how we’re always talking about how personality types are reflections of how a person relates themselves to the world? That is the same as saying the person’s personal reality is…. that of the Outsider or the Predator or the Herd Member. With us so far? cool If you’ve made it this far, the idea that we all live in a certain, kinda limited but totally real-reality that is…..personal.

The thing, (useful, enlightening, fun), about this personal reality metaphor is that it makes the business of ‘language’ simple and straight-forward. We’re a clark. We live in the (personal) reality of the Outsider. We have a certain language to allow us act and interact with the world at large. (We good so far?)

ok, staying with the clark example. We act, as does everyone, with the world described in a certain language. We communicate, to varying degrees of success, with the people in our lifes, (and world in general), employing the vocabulary of the Outsider. For the most part, we’re all in Esperanto mode. We get what you’re saying. You know we just asked you, ‘Where is the bathroom?‘ Its just that when we add, in our endearing manner, ‘ We apologize for the imposition of our presence…‘ that the difference in languages makes itself felt.

…from the perspective of clarks, scotts and rogers, of course.

Outa time!
