I used to really think I had hypomania when I was in 7th grade. It was very odd. I would only sleep for four hours..and I felt like my mind was sharper than ever...I was flowing with ideas...I had plans for the world lol. I was more confident than ever. It was kind of nice, actually.

EP temperament in general will be most inclined toward that.

it's not type related. the depressive episode that follows renders any speculative type correlations trivial
