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

Not to squander Grats (lol*) but shout-out to Mimi an Frank, Misky and Reelika for commentationing that provided an evolving context for presenting the principles of the Wakefield Doctrinem as well as shining a bit of light on the potential paths forward for both our current Serial Sixes.

running way, way, way behind on today’s post.

The Wakefield Doctrine is an additional perspective on the world around us (and the people who make it up). The three ‘personality types’ are representations of the character of one’s relationship to the world. These are established at the earliest stages of life and they, (the personality types), are manifestations of the individual’s development, given the world as they experience it. The three types are: clarks (the Outsider), scotts (the Predator) and rogers (the Herd Members) and are with us for life.

With the insights available from being able to determine another person’s characteristic relationship (with Life) we are able to better see the world as another person is experiencing it.

Each of the three types, referred to as ‘predominant worldviews’ have a character distinct from the other two. None hold exclusive domain over any skills, habits, insights, strengths or weaknesses.

The Wakefield Doctrine is gender and culture neutral.

The insights from studying and applying the principles of the Doctrine can be helpful if we are inclined to try to better understand ourselfs. They are also totally fun when trying to understand other people.
