I have a few life issues to resolve. They have to do with people, some of whom have very difficult ( moody, negative ..etc. ) characters. For example : when faced with a problem, I take a deep breath , maybe some time to abosrb the shock, and then spend most of the time trying to (rationally) analyze the problem and develop a solution. Some people around me will not only be whining, they will act emotionally and haphazardly, and so they mess up that problem in a way that it becomes harder to solve.

These people also drain your energy and focus, and you become divided between trying to solve the problem, and trying to keeping your own head together.

I thought maybe the MBTI may help me understand people and learn how to deal with them. So question is : has anyone of you used the MBTI or any other such field of knowledge to smooth some of your problems and deal better with difficult personlities ?

Thanks
