Freyedaya -the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

March 13, 2026 By

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

For something a little different on this Friday, a post describing a practical(ish) application of the principles of the Wakefield Doctrine. To the end, as always of the effort to enhance one’s appreciation of how (we) relate ourselfs to the world around us and the people who make it up

The set up:

Annual Awards Luncheon in an upstairs meeting room in a local restaurant. Being new to this (real estate) brokerage, we suspended our ‘no mandatory social engagements’ rule. (Note: prior to joining this company we shared our disinclination for the social activities involved in our business. Fortunately, we had worked with the principles on transactions for many years, so they were very un-surprised.)

The crowd: pretty much mostly rogers. (Such is the real estate business) An array of tables, a podium and, being the 21st C a large computer display, designating the front of the room.
Note: while this post is intended for clarks and, more to the point, a sharing of an experience clarks can identify with, there was nothing about our adventure that would stand out. No, ‘Watch the introvert at a luncheon. When they sat down at the keyboard, everyone was shocked!’
As it happened, the table we sat at was near the door and empty. Everyone else had already clumped together. And it was not an isolated table, rather was on one of the aisles, we. were able to meet people (as they walked past) and talk to those we knew. Nothing too ‘Why is that person by themselves over there?’
Anyways, so we’re sitting there, checking our email, (as were the majority of the others at one point or another), and it struck us: ‘Damn! This is surely going to make the TToT this week! Not the Luncheon so much as our gratitude for the technology that provides the creation of a ‘ghost conversational group’ for the hypo-social…aka clarks!
So we sat, with our friendly smile on two second delay… and did what all students of a certain personality type theory would do: Practice! Watch the people.Listen. Observe. Try to identify their individual predominant worldviews. Although the room was mostly rogers, the Everything Rule never stays home.
ProTip: scanned for the scotts, first* …’cause easy and fun! And then, since we’re serious about our practice, looked for the clarks.
Finally, a bit of an epiphany:Sitting by oneself being concerned that you might be regarded as weird and/or strange, ( in the Quasimodo sense, that is), only turns up the blue** on the color wheel/makeup board.
Note to the rogers and scotts among our Readers today, it occurred to us that, aided by technology, we could smile on occasion (not laugh…not good to laugh lol) and, in general allow ourselves to enjoy the moment. And…and by doing so, blend in with the others.
Thanks! Wakefield Doctrine.

* Insider info: by and large, the top producers in real estate are scottian females and rogerian men. There are several posts inherent in that assertion. Perhaps another day.

** clarks have a certain affinity for the apocryphal story of ‘the Blue Monkey’. (Ask in Comments)

Well, what exactly do you want to know? Whether I am a clark or a scott or roger? If you have to ask, then you need to keep reading the Posts for two reasons: a)to get a clear enough understanding to be able to make the determination of which type I am and 2) to realize that by definition I am all three.* *which is true for you as well, all three...but mostly one

    Now that’s a man of quiet, patient gravity with a desk cleared every evening, except for a telephone, a sticky tape dispenser, and a box of Kleenex. But what’s really interesting (to me) is that this photo sent me back to my childhood: Walt Cronkite announcing that President Kennedy was dead.

      huh!
      (now that you mentioned it, back in the day I was more impressed by Eric Sevareid (who, now that I think of it and a cursory search on google was more likely a clark (with a significant secondary clarklike aspect) as opposed to Walter Cronkite (who I’m not as sure of)).

    Ms. G is in real estate. She’s a scottian female and reads people like a book, whip smart so the clarklike secondary is strong.

    And of course, the room is mostly rogers, the world is mostly rogers.

    Did you know, when Walter Cronkite was handed the initial reports and told to go live right away with the story of the Kennedy assassination, he was so shaken by the news for the first, last and only time in his career, he forgot to put on his suit jacket and gave the report in his shirt sleeves. He was so upset he didn’t even realize it until much later, when he saw it in a film review.
