"No matter where you go, or what position you hold, there is always work to do. So I guess I get bored with coworkers who place themselves in a position of boredom and try to triangulate you into that. I get bored with being bored. I just find some work to keep me productive. Besides, regarding the work I am performing, I always pad the job. I am consistently exceeding expectations because I always have work to do."

This question aims to reveal whether you would thrive or burn out in this environment. It also attempts to gauge what your motivators are. Your interviewer will also keep an eye out for any red flags, such as inconsistencies between your answers.

Try to come up with examples that would complement the work of an IRS agent. Painting yourself as proactive, innovative, readily going above and beyond, and seeking out extra work to stave off boredom by staying productive will go a long way.
