I was talking to a friend of mine a few days ago and while he doesn't know socionics he knows Kiersey a little bit.
He associated this sort of thing to "Artisans" or Sensing Perceiving. He said, "The thing about artisans or being an artisan is that the highs are very high and the lows are very low". He was mainly talking about Artisans in two sense, the Kiersey formalized intellectual sense and the sense of somewhat who practices an art or craft. He uses them pretty interchangably. Which makes sense because one who is absorbed in an art or craft would be very focus on irrationality or perceiving and very focused on the sensory aspects of that craft.
For example a painter would be focused on sensing the visual aspects of stuff and go with flow (irrationality) when creating his/her painting.
This seemed to make sense to me. Also Kiersey tends to associated artisans with a sort of dionysus "live large" personality. They most likely to gamble either literally or live there live with risks and chances, focusing more on experience and spontaneity.
All these things point to MOOD SWINGS. This would be opposed to something like a sensing judging Guardian who seeks predictability, dependability, stability, and order or something of the like.
Carrying this over into socionics it fits well with the rational/irrational dichotomy and what hkkmr said.
Further its complex though because the enneagram relates mood swings to e4, but this is a slightly different meaning. This is more associated to the nature of the way an e4 feels and less associated to spontaneity. An irrational, or artisan, e4 I'd imagine would have all sort of mood swings.
Further regardless of any personality you have to look at biology: men will undergo certain mood swings probably related to testosterone and their sex drives -- aggression, calmness, interest, uninterest but usually on a pretty quick cycle. Women by contrast have many hormone and complex cycles that span a longer time for a variety of reasons. These affect the mood.
Also physically how you eat and sleep effect things as well -- how much, when, and for how long and what cycle.
So there are many aspects.
Temperament (irrationality/rationality), Core Issues and Motives (e-type), Biochemistry, and Daily Routine.
