你好,我是一个INTP,和生活在德国。它是interesting to see, that Extroverts earns more. One hypothesis could be that this is possibly an cultural feature. My gut tells me, that in Germany the salary between Extroverts and Introverts could be more in balance. Maybe Germany has more acceptance for IxTJ live styles. The archetype of a serious businessman in Germany is more of an ISTJ (in the technology/science sector INTJ) than an ESTJ. Maybe this could be different in USA.
Salary is one parameter. If one would analyse accumulated capital, my guess would be, that Introverts would outperform Extroverts despite smaller salary. Explanation would be, that extroverts have a stronger need for social consumption (e.g. status demonstration by status symbols, expensive cars, clothes, ...).
I would contradict that INTP are worse at dealing with money. As INTP, I see money management as a system that I can strategically optimize over the long term. You could see it as just another mathematical game (for example money gives you a lot of possibilities e.g. to invest in stocks, so it's in entrance to another "universe of finance and economics" you can explore in a practical and theoretical manner). Of course, because of my P trait I would prefer to live right into the day just playing computer games, but my job, my (I thing strong) T and my N (!) prevents me from doing that.
INTPs are not very often in society and with good education an INTP is able to have a very strong human capital. But this could explain the low average salary of INTPs: They study a long time in university before going into job.
But in job, we are great analysers with good skills in learning difficult stuff, numbers in a theoretical sense are our friends and thinking in concepts and strategies brings joy to us. There is a great demand for these skills. We're also very relaxed and easy-going types, so a lot of people enjoy working with us.
