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

ok, who, as you read the title of today’s post, thought, “Oh, boy! A RePrint post today!”

Well, there’s a good reason why everyone will tell you, “That Tuesday? Best and mildest day of the week!”

We’re glad you asked!

…forgot our point.

oh well,  New Readers? this is all about additional perspectives on the world around us (and the people who make it up). Your relationship to your world is one of three:

1. the Outsider (clarks)  clarks think  the world is ‘out there’ and while sometimes an enjoyable puzzle, there is one piece missing but being blessed with an insatiable curiosity, it’s only a matter of time
2. the Predator (scotts) life is now, prey to chase (larger) predators to contend with, action is more than a verb, it’s a way of life… there is no need to over-think it… scotts act
3. the Herd Member (rogers) life is good and sufficient and quantifiable and connected and every other good thing, it is everything other than cold, distant and un-relatable. there is a rule (among many) and that is to learn the Right Way and comes with a responsibility to make sure everyone has an opportunity to also learn that rogers feel

the Wakefield Doctrine is gender, culture and age neutral.

Tuesday Morning: how the 3 personality types of the Wakefield Doctrine respond to this ‘mildest of Weekdays’

October 2, 2012

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine ( three characteristic worldviews determine the 3 personality types: clarks, scotts and rogers )

Almost too easy. But we must be considerate of the New Reader! No telling how many people have arrived here at the Wakefield Doctrine this very Tuesday morning, driven by an insatiable curiosity, a little free-time at their computer at work/school or simply an annoying friend/co-worker (“...yeah, no! just go there! don’t try to read the About page, just read this Post! it’s about these people and these worldview things and…the thing of it is they are so right and I can’t stop seeing these scotts and clark and rogers…rogers!! do you have any idea how disturbing it is now whenever I drive past a bunch of guys riding bikes, wearing the kind of spandex that made Pat Benatar such a star… and  just go there and let me know when you understand how any of this is going to be useful!“)

We all know that Tuesday is the day of the week that is most clarklike, right? The clue was right there in the Title, right? And by the associating of the word ‘mild’, you know have a spot-on assessment of the clarklike personality type, right?

Wrong.

Well, right about the ‘Tuesday is the most clark-friendly Day of the Week’, but t-wrong about the assessment of the clarklike personality type as being ‘mild’. Moderate?, fair… temperate?, sure, why not? even-tempered?, now you are straying… easy-to-get-along-with? getting colder… flat-affect, overly rational? ok…warmer… driven by a disconnected emotional aspect to find the way back home… yow! boiling !

Tuesday is the easiest-going Day of the Week. Rivalled only by Thursday on the lowered expectations scale, Tuesday is the day where you can believe in the promises of the work/school, even commit yourself to giving all to making the week a time of great accomplishment. Without the threat of an Exam (Friday) or even a pop quiz (Wednesday), Tuesday is the day where:

• clarks relax
• scotts wake up
• rogers begin to get annoyed

If you were looking through the eyes of a clark…on a Tuesday morning…and the newspaper headlines read: ‘Meteor to Strike Earth on Friday, Extinction of all Life Certain!’ your reaction would be:

• relief because the mess you made of your first serious relationship would finally stop bothering you (…hopefully)
• excitement because now you don’t have to worry about having enough money to pay the mortgage
• amused because you had a dream in which you felt loved and cherished by all and when you woke up you had a genuine emotional conviction that you were ‘a part of the family’
• a sense of vindication because you knew that nothing really mattered
• regret as you finally realized that people did not really care about how strange the inside of your head is, they only wanted to believe that you liked and appreciated them

Well, that was …interesting!

If the rogers and the scotts would form an orderly line (yeah, right) we will register each and every one of your objections to this Post.
