In case you're not sure, or in case you want to see the degree to which you're a workaholic, here's a test you can take. Below is mine after I took the test.
Gladly let me know yours.
You scored 88 out of a possible 147.
Your score in this range means your career is of major importance to you and you derive most of your personal identity from it. Such a high involvement may mean that you base too much of your well-being on your career, excluding other important areas of your life.
Beware: Exceedingly high commitment may make you susceptible to unacceptable self-imposed stress and eventual burnout. Successful individuals who sustain their career motivation maintain other interests besides work. These allow them to develop a more balanced life, which results in fewer illnesses, healthier relationships and steadier career achievement.
If you scored above 115, you may feel like a victim of pressures, incapable of controlling your time, energy and life. You need to learn to decrease the pressures, workload and stresses you experience in your work. You also need to explore how to make your time and energy contribute more to your overall well-being.
