Without challenges we can not grow as effectively.
It is our interpersonal relationships which are true tests of our
character, will power & poise.
If we react negatively we are immature.
Moreover we are angry.
Still deeper is deep hurt.
We are incomplete and so fight the world.
The challenge is to deal with life's challenges with more decorum,
but it hurts, or is not fair.
The true battle lays within.
The more rational a person is the less distorted they are, and hopefully
more balanced as well as happy.

Many people avoid true challenges that threaten the inner being or confronts
one's ego and sense of self.
After all I think, feel, & believe passionately this therefore I must be right.
The other person is an "idiot", and hasn't a clue!
It is only with open dialogue and feedback from other people can one
process one's behavior and attempt modifications in one's own thinking
process.
This hopefully leads to changes in behavior.

One of the best and most unique ways to change behavior is to video tape
oneself and see how one really looks, acts, & behaves.
It's like a wake up call.
Of course a person must be willing to change, grow, & actualize.
Usually one won't because change is HARD.
Unless there is an incentive, one will not pick up the gauntlet and attempt
the greatest " challenge in life", and that is changing self.
For this is where the great battle lays.
This thread ties in with "SOCIAL SCIENCES" & "CHANGE".

The highlighted makes it sound as if the deck is stacked against certain types of people. Yes, MBTI types in one sense; in a broader sense, just those people who are less outgoing, less comfortable dealing with others. Do we necessarily have poorer character, less will power, or poise? Once again, I see a distinction between being "nice" and being "good", recognizing of course that both words are highly subjective.

I think interpersonal intrapersonal processes is just a part of the equation.
A truer test for me is our speech patterns and how many distortions
of reasoning there are.
A person angry is generally not well adjusted.
There is room for growth should the person choose to or not.
A person using a lot of labels and pejoratives is communicating in an
Immature fashion.
Emotional intelligence certainly helps when dealing with these
personality types.
We all have strengths and weaknesses.
In school they teach the 3 R's.
It doesn't mean that everyone will be good in all of them.
It is just an all around system of education.
I do think both rational thought and reasoning should be taught.
I do believe that emotional intelligence should be taught.
Not everyone will be good in one or the other.
Still it should be included for a well rounded education.
