Does the Holy Ghost help you resist temptation?

[Questioner]

Does the Holy Ghost (or "anointing") help one to resist temptations? If so, would that lead to statistical evidence that preachers and saints have less instances of adultery or other sins?

And if preachers on average have more "anointing" than a typical layperson, wouldn't that by default cause them to be held to a higher standard (I threw this in because I've seen lots of preachers claim that they shouldn't be held to a higher standard)...
