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

Sometimes New Readers, they be sayin’ ‘Hey, I believe this Doctrine can be fun and useful. And I get that you say ‘Do your Reading’. But there’s like thirty-five hundred of the fricken’ things.  How ’bout you give a Reader a break? Like a Clift Notes thing.”

We hear you.

Examples to see the Doctrine (and it’s three personality types: clarks (Outsider), scotts (Predator) and rogers (Herd Member) are all around you,

The key is to indulge your imagination.

Yesterday, Commenting on this post, Friend of the Doctrine Misky say:

ps: TSA — I am always impressed by their ability to wear self-possessed importance. Goes to show what a uniform does to a person.

Being a clark with a significant secondary scottian aspect allow us to preface our remarks on how her Comment is nothing less than a total open book exam on the Doctrine:

“Hey, this personality theory, it’s not for ever one. Not only do you need to enjoy applying your imagination to the everyday world, you need to have the confidence to, as a scott might, ‘just run with it.’ If you don’t get it, we can say with confidence that it’s only because you’re suffering from hypo-clarklike aspect.’

That’s all we care to say.

To today’s topic: Read: ‘TSA‘ (we’ve all been through security check points at airports…or have seen them in a movie or on TV) then… ‘self-possessed importance‘ (now here our correcpondent is being….somewhat charitable). Finally the clincher: ‘Uniform‘.

We are presented with an archtypical illustration of a less admirable manifestation of the rogerian predominant worldview.

Grade your own exams.

Ask question.

(Like we used to say in early Doctrine posts, back in the beginning when our scottian aspect might have shown more clearly, you know, before the ameliorating effects of associating with the likes of Mimi and Cynthia, we’d be sayin’  ‘There are not stupid question, just your questions.”)
