Why does an INTP tend to have a higher IQ and lower salaries than other MBTI types?

The shortest and most concise answer I can give you is that INTPs really, really need to have a personal interest in what they’re doing in order to be interested enough to actually show up to work every day. Their job has to meet several criteria:
- It has to keep them intellectually stimulated.
- It has to be constantly introducing new complex and interesting problems to solve.
- It cannot violate their sense of ethics.
- It has to be of personal interest to them (ex. I have one INTP friend who’s in university studying neuropharmacology - that’s how specific her area of interest is).
- It can’t require them to adhere to a strict corporate hierarchy that they see as corrupt or inefficient.
And very few jobs meet all, or even most, of these requirements.
