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

lets check recent Reader Comments!

From Mimi:

Dealing with rogers is tiring sometimes.

From Misky:

I’m doing this family thing in Colombia, and I admit that I can find it a challenge. I love my grandchildren beyond good sense and spoil them as any Nana wants to, but equally I often want to go to some corner and not hear other adults talking BS, or telling BS jokes, and I’ve discovered that I might be a Jack Russell (dog) who wants to nip at people’s ankles. Is this normal, or should I refer myself to a veterinarian?

True (and) Put that way, might not be the worst course of action.

Thanks to both M(s) for the intro to a brief lecture-ette for New Readers.

The thing about getting the most from the Wakefield Doctrine comes down to two things: a) settle on/get comfortable with which is your own predominant worldview, 2) read as much as possible about other clarks, scotts and rogers and 3) have fun

Step A: there are three characteristic relationships we can maintain with the world around us; that of the Outsider (clarks), the Predator (scotts) and the Herd Member (rogers); Part 2: hey! this one is a lot trickier and far and away more difficult for most of us than what it seems on first blush… consider your thoughts, actions and feelings for the world around you and the people who make it up… No! Bad undetermined New Reader, your’s is not the only reasonable way to interact with the world. (see: three predominant worldviews, not one or twenty-six) And, to make the process a little more aggravating (for one of the three) the Wakefield Doctrine says: one predominant worldview per person. Not ‘All Three‘ not ‘A combination of the Three‘ one.  and finally, 3) fun….

none of the three are better, worse, more obnoxious or clearly kinda useless. Equal.

Quick worldview Hack. Works with determining the personality type of others and….and! it works on our-ownselfs!

First throw out the ‘no-fricken’-way of the three.

Now set the remaining two side-by-each* and ‘look around’. If you have done your reading, you will have at hand a set of characteristic perspectives on the world for each of the remaining two. Think eye exam: look at something through one ‘lens’, now, the other. Which is clearer? Try something else in your environment, people, places, things, doesn’t matter. Look at one…then the other… by now you will begin to notice a better ‘focus’ or clarity or definition. Keep doing that until you are satisfied. There’s your/their predominant worldview.

You’re welcome.
