I used to be a workaholic. When I didn't hate my job, and often even when I did, I was always a workaholic until recent years (even when I was 14). I imagine it's part of my personality... I mean, why sit around when I could be making money?![]()
I think it's part of the EJ temperament. More so with ESxjs. They seem to have more stamina somehow. Don't get sick as much, don't go through those "down" periods mentioned in Stratiyevskaya's description of Si in LIE's.
IJ's can be workaholics as well, they just do it more quietly, and they're probably not as inclined to be workaholics as EJ's. Of course, irrational types can be workaholics as well, I just think it's a lot less likely.
I have been thinking of starting a thread about which types are generally inclined to think in terms of what they're accomplishing. I think it's probably EJ types. They're not happy unless they feel like they're accomplishing something. They can't be content working in a position in which they don't get a sense of accomplishment from what they do. It's part of being "proactive, restless".
