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

This is the Doctrine’s weekly contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. Foundered by Lizzi R in 1890 and unleashed upon an un-suspecting (and, unfortunately, technologically ill-equipped planet) from her garret over a humble stable on the fringes of Liver-on-Rye, Manchester England, England in the Spring of that very year.

What follows, however tenuous in logical necessity, is our list of the people, places and things that elicited a state of gratitude in us in the previous…err lets say couple of days and let it go at that.

1) Phyllis

2) Una (such a cute, young Chodsky Pes in this photation, no?)

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop

5) circular logic

6) Instagram account for social media purposes for work (#clark_farley)… my series of reels, ‘Where in South County Are We?’ a fun manifestation of one of the most remarkable benefits courtsey of the Wakefield Doctrine.

7) Who just said, “Wait a darn minute! You’re a clark. Are you expecting us to believe you would deliberately do a video and post it for all the world to see/hear? Well, gotta tell you, we’re gonna need to see some direct evidence.” (ok fine, go to instagram crackers dot com and look us up: @clark_farley

8) something, something

9) Nine Days until the End of Winter!

10) Secret Rule 1.3

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

Yeah

RePrint that thang

why clarks hate being nice, scotts avoid responsibility and rogers just want everyone to stop what they are doing… your Life, their problem and the Wakefield Doctrine

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

The answer(s) to the questions implied in today’s Post Title are way more aggravating than they have any right to be, yet is very simple.
If you ‘get it’, before I finish this explanation, then you are the kind of people we want to hear from!
( and ) if you do not ‘get it’ and get annoyed, then you are so the kind of people we want to talk to!

(frequently asked)Questions:

OK, I know that I am a clark, so what now?

Do you really think you can tell me more about myself than I am willing to tell myself?

Is there a trick or something to this… these Posts are fun, but what are you really trying to say?

You make the statement several times in several ways that the Wakefield Doctrine can change my life and/or help me eliminate bad habits…who said I needed to change and even if I did, what gives you the right?

My boyfriend says that this blog might be fun but you seem a little stupid and silly, I want to tell him that I think he’s wrong…but sometimes I wonder….

Won’t my parents be upset if I tell them that the only reason they want me to go to Medical School is that they are both such rogers ?

(mix ‘n match)Answers:

The Wakefield Doctrine holds that all of us have the potential to see the world in the three characteristic ways that are associated with being a clark or a scott or a roger and that while we are predominantly one (of these three) we never lose the capacity to see the world as the other two.

Personality (according to the Wakefield Doctrine) is first about the reality that we find ourselves in and second the individual choices that we make. Rather than start with a questionnaire, “what are your likes/dislikes, your interests and your turn-offs” we are concerned with understanding the world as you are experiencing it.

The Posts you find here are what you would find yourself talking about if you happened to call in to the Wakefield Doctrine Saturday Night Drive. ( …and this Wakefield Doctrine Saturday Night Drive is a ‘live blog Post/call-in-and-get-your-questions-answered show)

There is no more effective tool for self-development than the Wakefield Doctrine and there is no more difficult and challenging approach to self-development and lifestyle improvement than the Wakefield Doctrine

Fuck ’em, they’re rogers… if you asked them the question, then you would be telling them that they are right..

The Title of today’s Post?

there is nothing a clark hates more than to be told by a roger that they (the clark, not the roger), are such nice people…and there is nothing a clark enjoys more than being told by a scott that they are nice people
scotts are afraid of everything that threatens to mean more to themselves than it might mean to others
rogers want, hell! they need things to be orderly and focused and the simplest way that most rogers know in order to make sure of that, is to place themselves at the center of their world. That way they will be able to watch everything equally and not miss a thing, not a single detail.

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

Excellent Call-in this weekend

Cynthia and Denise

(a clarklike symposium on the topic of translating between predominant worldviews, aka what you hear the other person say is not necessarily what they said

clarks think, scotts act and rogers feel

The Wakefield Doctrine is an additional (and fun!) perspective on the world around us and the people who make it up.

Cliff Notes??!! what the heck do you think (these) posts are??

lol

Remember! There are no stupid questions! Only your questions.

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

This is the Doctrine’s weekly contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. Conceived of and manifested in the blogosphere by our Founderini, Lizzi R, it is a fun exercise in the awareness of and the encourgagement of the ever elusive (for some of us) state of gratitude.

The photo at the top of this post? Early morning’s night-time frost.

Our list this week:

1) Phyllis

2) Una

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) Approaching one of the Big Three Holidays… the Feast of Saint Roger (see Grat 9)

5) the Six Sentence Story bloghop

6) Hypo-grat (at least the dog finds the temperature pleasing) And …and!! Zoom in there, behind the Husky…ice on the pond!!

7) something, something

8) only thirty more days until Summer!

9) Phyllis is a roger with a significant secondary clarklike aspect. She enjoyed our impulse gift of a pre-Christmas/T-Giving tee shirt

10) Secret Rule 1.3

Welding Day -the Wakefield Doctrine-

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

Tomorrow being the start of the fictional posts part of the Doctrine week.* It would seem incumbent on us to tie together the loose ends in the previous posts (Monday, Tuesday).

The Wakefield Doctrine maintains that it is the character/nature of the individual’s relationship with reality (personal and common) that is one’s ‘personality type’. And, of course, the primary motivation for discovering and labelling types is to allow a deeper understanding. And claiming insight into whatever it is one is desginating as a type to the extent that the future behavior, development and actions are knowable by the one with the ~~author.~~.. manufacturer.

In any event, the three predominant worldviews:

clarks (the Outsider) “Labels?!! Then we’ll know about the person ahead of time and can safely approach the safe ones??! Where do we send our money!!!”
scotts (the Predator) “Seriously? Love it! Like a ‘USDA Prime’ stamp or ‘Facsimile Only Not for Consumption’…walking Menus! Stamp ’em all and open the corral chute!! Dinner on the run, yum, yum.”
rogers (the Herd Member) “Why how degrading. Labels and profiles. I thought you were more sophisticated and creative than that. No, what’s wrong with you? The P in Prime, that calls for a capital P. Really, is this anyway to run a personality system.”

So the workplace!

Short, sweet(ish) and useful (if you’ve kept up with your Reading):

Managers: rogers

Foremen/Supervisors: scotts

Laborers: clarks

How do you know this? Easy:

A rogerian manager will insist on having an office but will spend most of their time not it in. When a rogerian manager uses their office it is always with a degree of ceremony, i.e. the Closing of the Office Door. (With or without another person in the office. The rogerian manager will always make it obvious to the non-invited staff. This Is Special.)

A scottian foreman/woman? Who would’ve thought a person would chose to sit on your desk? Hey, when the scott wants to pay attention to you, everyone will notice. (Be grateful they only lean or sit on your work area, in nature, Marking Territory is not always so hygenic.)

The clark works alone, even (especially) as a team member. They, (the clarks), unfortunately, never quite understand the proper ratio between actual effort and being a part of the team. This is further exacerbated by their low threshold for boredom. Which leads to egregious misestimation of work completed and work remaining. They (the clarks) are always surprised when called on the carpet to explain their deficiencies.
