clarks, scotts and rogers.

Whats with the names of the 3 personality types

of the Wakefield Doctrine?
Posted on October 13, 2011 by Jennifer Wilson The Theory of 3 Personality Types
With a basic understanding of the characteristics of each group (clarks, scotts
and rogers), anyone can understand everyone else! You will know how those
around you will act in virtually any situation. Finally you can understand what has
never made sense to you about the people you work with, live with and/or are
friends with. The answer to the question, Why on earth would you do that/say
that/feel that way?
The three ways of perceiving the world are referred to as clarks, scotts and
rogers. We all begin life with the potential of all three types. At some point we
become predominantly one.
The Wakefield Doctrine is based on the premise that behavior is a response to
perception of the world. That we choose how to perceive the world means that
we acquire a characteristic way of seeing the world which leads to characteristic
behavior.
We become clarks, scotts or rogers.
OK. Enough. Where the hell did these names come from? No type A, B and C.
No 1, 2 or 3. Nope. Just clarks, scotts and rogers. (Jesus, if I have to type
those names again.. )
So heres the dirt. Frickin hysterical. You couldnt make this shit up. But its
absolutely, 100% true.
Once upon a time, in a land not very far from Clarks house there were three
atypical college friends who engaged in many of the atypical activities of their
day. They went to school; they played guitars at ear-splitting volumes in dorm
rooms, and sneered derisively at those who objected; one drank too, too much;
one not at all, but subsisted on Oreos and Coke. One became a Baptist with a
capital B. They played in rock bands, worked all sorts of jobs, one got married
way too soon. They all wrestled with the Issues Of Their Day, with varying
degrees of resolve and/or success. And in spite of all the atypical ups and
downs, they managed to form a very unique bond. And , to their surprise, the
bond has lasted much longer than any one of them might have thought. Longer
than some marriages, jobs, bands, or Baptist dogma. And after many hours of
conversation about just about everything turned into years and decades of same,
there came to be what was, and is now, referred to as the Wakefield
Doctrine.
Psychology and psychiatry texts make constant reference to type A/B/C
personalities and their interactions. We are somewhat along those same lines.
For us, those references have evolved into our Wakefield Doctrine, which we
have found to be much more palatable. To err may be human, but to create a
categorization system that explains all of human behavior in a somewhat cryptic
nutshell is absolutely divine. And, we have noticed along the way, a heck of a lot
of fun. In an improvisational academia sort of way, we gleefully invent terms as
we go along to describe conditions and situations that may not have existed
previously. And yet, our system also works perfectly well when taken perfectly
and totally seriously.
The basic premise is that there are three fundamental personality types; and
much can be known and discovered about oneself ( and any other aspect of life )
by learning to identify your own basic type; how to identify the types of others;
and then consider all the ramifications of the interactions. In shortthis explains
everything, but only from a point of view that holds human dynamics as the prime
component. (from About the Wakefield Doctrine)
So there you have it. And what were the guys names? What??!! Whaddya mean
you dont know?? Oh, youre just kidding (yeah right). All together now: clark,
scott and roger! Very good.
Despite what may be a seemingly informal, unscientific reference to the 3
personality types that constitute the Wakefield Doctrine, the system is the
same as any other personality type theory. Youve got your 9 Eannegram Types
(yes 9. count em) M.B.T.I. (ok, how about 9 letters?) blah blah blah
We here at the Doctrine find our categorizations more relatable, more palatable.
Who wants to be referred to as a type FING (pun intended) when they can be a
scott for example (the fun ones).
For our new readers Ill give you a description of each type below. If you REALLY
want to know the shit on each type I strongly recommend that you go directly to
the Doctrine for a full explanation of each type CLARKS SCOTTS ROGERS
A clark is the person you have to make an effort to notice. In high school the
clark is not clearly of one group or another. Not popular, not a jock, not a geek,
not a hippie not one of those who seem to always be standing next to their cars
in the student parking lot. In a workplace environment same thing happens, the
clark is seen in any setting but is not a part of any of the normally identifiable
groups. The thing about clarks is that they will be seen at one time or another in
all of these groups! Not as a member, but apparently a part of whatever the
particular situation is; clarks will be found in association with the leader/alpha of
whatever clique or social group. But only in a situational sense, definitely not a
member of that group.
A scott is the person you cant not notice. In high school the scott is the class
clown or leading hoodlum or the captain of the sports team or the head
cheerleader. The scott is popular, the entertainer, the joke teller. In a workplace
environment they are also the leaders, but limited by the extent of organizational
complexity, white collar or blue collar the scott will lead as a pack leader. Scotts
are not good managers, they require a great deal of freedom and latitude. A
scott might be a CEO or an owner, but only if it is all his. Truly an example of a
cult of personality.
rogers are the masses. The people who make up the circle around a high school
fight, the people who know what you did last weekend and tell the other people at
the office. In a workplace environment rogers are the middle managers or that
person in charge of supplies that has always been there and insists that they
follow the rules (always refers to it as I call this the bible lowercase). Rogers
are the members of the cheerleaders squad, the football team. Rogers are the
crowd, the mob, the congregation, anywhere there are people with a common
interest, most of the members will be rogers. They form the social fabric in every
society.
So, hopefully your curiosity is piqued. Look around the site, look around where
ever you are and you will find them. Explore. Have fun.
