How Do I Know If I'm A Workaholic?

[yonkers weights]

Agree with your statments. I did answer no to those 3.

Do you get impatient with people who have other priorities besides work?

Are there times when you can charge through your work and other times when you can't?

Do you underestimate how long a project will take and then rush to complete it?

okay, maybe only 3. but these shouldn't be on there. these are not "workaholic" traits, they are time and people management issues.

So, did the quiz have a specified number of "yes" answers which are supposed to indicate that you are a workaholic?

Sounds like you like your job and you have youthful energy and ambition.

I answered yes to two. I don't particularly care about my job and no longer give a shit.

I do like my job and looking to climb this dame ladder as quick as I can. I want to get ahead now before I have kids so I can spend more time with them. Work hard now and play later! At least thats my goal...

No. Wife is the MOST important thing in my life.
